"Best Bang for the Buck"

Sound:

For the size (and weight) of this amp, the sound can't be beat. I have heard that it sounds better with a Jensen 8" speaker, but I bought this amp for the affordability and Fender quality, and I do not see the need for additional expense.

Feature:

The features are great considering the 3-band EQ, distortion/clean settings and aux-in. It would really be great if a foot switch was included like on the next model which costs $40 more. I may modify the switch just for this feature after the warranty expires.

Quality:

Typical and expected Fender quality.

Manufacturer Support:

No support needed for this amp, but based on past experience with Fender, support is awesome.

Value:

Can't beat it for the price. Sound is much greater than the $ I spent.

The Wow Factor:

Looks like a mini vintage Fender Amp with the black face and silver/black grille cloth.

Overall:

I have no reason to expect less from this Fender produce than the ones I have bought since the early 70's. All are still rockin'.

"Manufacturing Origin Makes a Difference."

Sound:

I liked it so much that I bought a second amp for my daughter. That's when I noticed the difference. One was made in Indonesia, and the other made in China. The China model sounds better. Very clear, no hum or radio frequency interference (RFI). The Indonesia model has a slight noise problem. I can't use the reverb set to over "3" on this one because it is too noisy. But on the China made model, I can set the reverb up to "10," and get NO RFI at all.

Feature:

Has an extra channel for OVERDRIVE, and that's cool. Also has ear phone jack.

Quality:

I pulled the cover off the back of both amps. The China made amp uses "chokes" on the speaker wires and reverb wires to minimize RFI. The Indonesia model has no chokes, which probably accounts for the hum and background noise. Plus, the Indonesia model has a cheap looking reverb unit (glued to side of box in clear soft plastic case) with two springs. The China model has a reverb unit that looks like a smaller version of my Vintage Fender Princeton Reverb amp. I do like the look of the Indonesia model better. The vinyl texture is more like the traditional Fender amps, and the lettering is bright white on a black face, rather than gray like the China model.

Manufacturer Support:

I haven't needed any service.

Value:

Nice unit.

The Wow Factor:

Looks cute, like a "baby Fender" amp.

Overall:

I will keep this amp around for a while. I hope it keeps going, or I will be singin' the blues.

"Awesome! Great biginner amp!"

Sound:

My first amp. It sounds pretty good but it makes a lot of buzzing noise in the background, especially when on distortion...

Feature:

All the normal adjustments, I guess. :) Reverb wasn't worth the extra money for me though.

Quality:

Very sturdy, and very loud for its size... It seems like this baby will last me as long as I need.

Value:

I paid $140 for it... should have bought it here! It is a good amp for a small price! Great for practicing at home!

The Wow Factor:

Not the best looking thing out there but it looks cool and I would want it just to have an amp. ;)

Overall:

Awesome! Highly reccommended to everyone, especially beginners!

Style of Music: Texas style blues, Rock and Roll, Hard Rock, Jazz

"The Frontman R for Rocks!"

Sound:

For a amp in this price range with reverb, from Fender, it's an overall great amp. I play texas blues, blues, classic rock and it is perfect for me. I plug my stratacoustic into it, as well as my Gibson Birdland. It's plenty for me. It rocks, and rolls a little too.

Feature:

It has reverb, a 3 band EQ, and input jacks among other things. What else ya need?

Quality:

Built like a brick house for the most part

Value:

For the $120 and under price, I wouldn't recommend anything else.

"This little amp does the trick p.s. its better than a 2watt amp hehe"

Feature:

It would be better if the amp had 2 imputs so i could join up amps for a real blast but ill give this a 9 for the headphone jack and the aux's.

Ease of Use:

You don't need to fiddle with this much to give it a GREAT sound

The Wow Factor:

The amp is SEXY!!! i'd reccomend this to anyone
