"Best $99.99 Combo Today!"
Sound:
This is a very underrated amp for the money. It has that classic Fender clean tone that we've all come to love, and right away, I was able to pull off some blues and country riffs with both my Fender Strat and my Epiphone Les Paul Studio. The Treble and Reverb though, can be a little bit overpowering so,I don't put them any higher than 4. The distortion is IMO, very underrated also. If you take a little bit of patience and do some experimenting with the EQ, you'd be surprised at how heavy you can make the gain on this amp sound. Maybe I got lucky but I was able to crank mine up to 6 without the speaker breaking up on me.
Feature:
I love the classic Blackface look with the silver Fender logo embossed in the left hand corner. I do wish though that the clean channel had more settings, but for the price, I really can't complain. For a 25 watt combo, this amp is LOUD!
Ease of Use:
It only took me a couple of minutes to familiarize myself with this amp. It's not exactly rocket science y'know!
Quality:
I couldn't find any faults with this amp at all. It seems to be a very well made product, although only time will tell. I do baby my gear and this is only going to be used for home practice, so it should be okay.
Manufacturer Support:
Fender's customer support has alway's been very accessable as far as I'm concerned, and easy to deal with.
Value:
The best $99.99 solid state combo amp that you can get today. This is great for a beginner and is good for home use, recording, and even for small gigs.
The Wow Factor:
C'mon, it's a Fender! How could you not want it!
Overall:
This is not going anywhere. I'm even thinking about getting rid of my Crate GTD120 and replacing it with the larger Frontman 65R combo. That's how great this amp sounds.
