This thing is a great value, and I recommend it for someone shopping in the price range. It's got the tone that is typical of Fender amps but it doesn't have that huge pricetag that much of that tone is accredited to... Bravo Fender.

Sound
This thing definitely has that Fender sound to it. Cleans are great, and the overdrive has that signature "feel" about it. As with all solid states, however, it of course starts getting fizzy when you turn it up, but this thing is so much louder than many comparable amps I've used I don't think the extra volume is necessary. The overdrive gets pretty muddy with the gain up past about 7 or 8, but it's still not bad. Oberall this amp has a great sound to it. The spring reerb sounds very... er, spring reverb-y. Some will like it, some won't, its just the way the sound is.

Features
2 channels (clean/OD), real spring reverb unit, 3 band EQ, separate volume for each channel, CD input (RCA jacks), headphone out. The speaker is a 10", which I think really adds to the value, because you can get some seriously loud sounds out of it without getting fuzzy. Oh, and it has an input jack, naturally :)

Quality
This thing is built like a tank, and all the components are good quality. Nothing feels flimsy and everything seems to be pretty solid.

Value
For the relatively small choice in this price range, this thing is definitely… read more worth it. If you can't afford anything bigger but don't want anything smaller (and/or quieter!) this is it.

Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to deal with them.

The Wow Factor
This thing looks nice, modeled after a classic Blackface. The grillcloth is nice and shiny--it's got that silver Fender look to it, and of course the nameplate is beautiful... Chrome and metal through and through.
