"A sweet temptress missing it's other 60w"

Overall:

(see rating details)

I use this amp more than any other.

Sound
I use an Ibanez semi-Hollow Body, and I really like the clean channel sound, it maintains the purity of the hollowbody's warmth and crispness. I've heard the sound described as sterile, but I enjoy this amp's simple sound as it is very open to tweaking from either the DSP effects onboard or other effects sent to the amp. I also use another Ibanez electric, and the distortion on drive 1 suits a fairly expansive range of tones, especially with the timbre settings on the amp, and once again, it maintains the qualities of my guitar. The drive 2 is not high in quality, it can be noisy and muffled. I would not suggest this amp for anybody using constant or extreme distortion.

Features
The DSP effects are wonderful in themselves, and coupled with an outboard MIDI, this amp is invincible, but the greatest convenient measure fender took in this amp is the timbre control, 7 different worlds of wonderful, immediately at your disposal.

Quality
Mine needed very little setting up, the head was a little loose, but that was just two screwdriver twists to full function. It has remained in perfect condition

Value
Awesome price, no better value for a 160w(100w without a cab) amp and a full effects board.

Manufacturer Support
haven't had to use it, but everything on the fender site, and their warranty… read more system are top-notch.

The Wow Factor
Great look to the front of the amp. the silver ?screen? looks sleek as the devil. and the button array and tilted panel for the knobs looks very good.
