I was surprised by the quality of this portable amplifier. The tones are really clean, I can play anything from Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd to Mellow blues, and it all sounds good. I needed a compact amp to take with me when I travel, I am a truck driver and I have times when I'm sitting waiting for loads or waiting to be loaded, and I just get out my guitar and amplifier and start playing, practicing, taking lessons on video or whatever I want to do. It's the perfect combo amp for my needs

I was skeptical of this amp, as I am with all amps that aren’t valve, but this amp is mad decent! During quarantine my twin reverb, and pedal board were stuck in my practice space, and I was feeling unfulfilled playing acoustic. So I came across this amp, and for the price I took a chance. It’s pretty great! Is it an amp for studio use? No. Is it a great practice amp, or amp for beginners? Yes! Would I recommend it to anyone wanting something compact that sounds good and has a lot of options? Yes. This question and answer is getting old. Sorry for that.

I am 65 and just returned to playing last November after suffering a stroke, the year before. I was using a Crate XT-65R which I had bought way back in 2005, when it died out on me. I then decided that I needed something smaller, seeing that I am retired from gigging . Well, I never had had a modeling amp before, so I decided to give this one a shot. When I got it, I did not like it at first due to the stock presets sounding IMO, somewhat sterile. I then found out about the Mustang Tone App., which you can download from Fender's site and from there, that when I discovered what the possibilities are with this amp. It comes with 60 presets, 30 of which are already set to play, and another 30 which you can modify to your own settings. Plus you can also modify the stock 30 pre set ones as well. I am having a blast with this amp and maybe down the line if I ever change my mind about gigging again, I'll update to the 50 watt version.

Here is the true lowdown on this amp.first off it sounds nothing like the video reviews on YouTube.those are mixed to a stereo cab for the video to make it sound great.this is strictly a bedroom practice amp.cant gig with it at all.the presets are engineered by fender techs who never played a guitar or played live.presets are done by their specs.bought this for my son who wanted to upgrade from the fender mustang micro(awesome product) received amp yesterday and right off the bat the amp is so bassy.you have thirty factory presets that I had to spend four hours tweeking.then downloaded the other thirty presets from the fender desktop app and spent four hours tweaking them also and the amp sounds great.the clean channels were great but just had to lower the bass.so if you think you can buy this amp and just plug in and play you won't be happy.if you have the patience to spend eight hours tweaking it you will have a great bedroom amp.im 60 years old and have been playing thrash and metal since '82 and I'm an old school pedal guy.i now just play biker and backyard parties and my rig now is my old fender 100 watt tube amp on the clean channel and run a nano metal muff,nux plexi crunch, tubescreamer,mxr eq and a dimebag wah pedal.all i need.use my bc rich warlocks,les Paul and dean dimebag.like I said my son loves the L25 NOW and its a great beginner bedroom practice amp ands 100% tweakable with loads of amps and pedal to chose from.

I have owned a lot of tube amps and built at least 25, this amp with the 5 band eq you can get any tone you want, very easy to change settings, i play a tele and a Gretsch hollow body and it sounds great, no farting out, the effects are good, 12.8 lbs. i also own a Quilter cub to compare it to, and i am surprised some of the tones are better on this amp. purchased from zZounds.

I want to ad to my review, this amp is much better than the original, and much easier to use.

I've had two of these Amps and both had some head phone jack issues. The one I am returning now cuts in and out with the new headphones I just bought from zZounds. When plugged in to my phone they were fine so I dunno. Sound isn't very customizable like it was on the older models. You can't switch cab models and amps to find what you are looking for and these amp models including the high gain ones are very vintage. Not recommended if you want a modern sound. The gain itself is not very defined and sounds more like the distortions on older fender practice amps. Not very good. Who ever designed the programming on this needs a boot to the face. You can not use a noise gate on anything you put an overdrive or distortion pedal on. High gain amps are already weak and if you want to give it a good push you're going to be dealing with feedback and hum. Even in the older models you could throw on an overdrive and noise gate. Just awful.I honestly don't recommend one of these even as a starter amp. Maybe if all you want is cleans but for something more gainy I would look into Line 6 Spider V 20.
