Preset patches are also built-in that simulate classic amplifier tones. Fire amps also offer four post-effect processing tools: Boost, Sustain, Edge and Bottom. Control knobs allow you to adjust Level, Gain and a 3-band EQ with Bass, Middle and Treble controls. Fire Amps even have a chromatic tuner built-in. the Fire-30 features a jack for the Zoom FS-01 footswitch, that allows the user to switch between any two patches in memory. Fire Amps have CD/Aux input, and a headphone/direct read more output jack, making them great tools for the studio.

"Great amp...Full feature set...excellent price tag."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I have owned this amp for 2 months and have been completely satisfied with it. I still haven't explored all the possibilities with this amp.

Sound
I recently purchased my first guitar with this amp. Although I have nothing to compare it to, I am satisfied with the sounds I get out of this amp. I use it strictly for practice.

Features
This amp has an unbelievable feature set. 11 different drive types, switchable bewteen vintage and standard sounds for a total of 22 drives. Each of these drives can be easily modified using the 3 band EQ and stored for custom patches. The amp also has a built in Tuner! Additionally, the amp has 30 built-in preset "patches" like "wild fuzz", "clean lead" and "m-stack". In addition the amp has several built-in effects, like chorus, flanger and auto-wah. Lastly, the amp has built-in delay/reverb functionality. The features on this amp provide endless possibilities for exploring and finding your sound.

Quality
I haven't had any problems with this amp. Again, I use it for practice only. The reason I only rated it an 8 is because I'm pretty sure that Zoom had to cut some corners to keep the price of this amp below $300. The comparable Line-6 amp with a less extensive feature set sells for $100 more. I would expect to pay much more for an amp with a feature set like this Zoom. It's a great buy...

Value
Once again, read more the unbelievable feature set and the nice sounds make this amp an incredible value. Perfect for a beginner, or as a practice amp.

Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to deal with them.

The Wow Factor
Admittedly, this amp isn't as cool looking as a Marshall, or Fender. But, the feature set and built-in effects make this a very desirable product.
