This is an amazing amplifier. However two things are a problenm when playing live gigs. #1 You have to have the Cyber Foot Controller $250.00 In order to fully utilize this amp with a band. #2 the dynamics change so dramatically from one setting to the another that a long learning curve and a good decibel meter is required. If you take enough time to set up the 100 programable areas with your specilized settings and name them for each song you want to play, then program the foot controller accordingly, then take a cheat sheet with you to the gig, and have made sure that each setting is volumed, and dynamically equivalent to each of the other settings, this amp is like taking a recording studio for your guitar with you out into the field. BUT, like I said it has a large learning curve and is very important that the settings between each user preset or pre programed for that matter is calibrated dynamically with each other. If not then when you change from one setting to the other the volume, tone, and dynamics can be hard to compensate with the bands volume, tone, and dynamics. BUT it can be done and when it is it's amazing the sounds and effects you have at a foot button push for each individual song. Of course you can always pick one good setting or two and stick with that for live gigs.

Two reasons I won't give this amp a 10 #1 See above Dynamics! #2 because without the cyber foot controller you cannot have full use and enjoyment in live gigs with this amp. The cyber foot controller should come with the amp and the amp cost $1,500.00 and it would be much better. Because you'll spend that much to use it effectively anyways. But man does it have effects!!!!!!!!

Absoulutely Fender Quality no shortcuts as usual from fender here!

Just like anything else in life with a warrenty it can be done but no one wants to do something for nothing very fast or easy.

It is but it should include cyber foot controller and price accordingly for that.

It's Fender through and through

I have the original Cyber twin, the Cyber twin se, reissue 65 deluxe reverb, reissue 59 4,10's bassman-with tube rectifier, hot rod deluxe, and a 15G practice amp.
