Now this is what I would consider to be a very good introductory guitar amp. Too many "beginner's" amps do not have enough tonal color to be effective tools in order to both enjoy and explore electric guitar. This one is spot-on including reverb, plus separate bass, treble and mid-range tones. Further, this is really a 2-channel amp, at least in function............. Where it gets really interesting is that there are separate volume controls, one for "clean" playing, the other for over-driven tones. When you press the gray "drive" button, the clean volume is by-passed and the drive volume control takes over. A separate gain control regulates how much distortion is applied. By the way, due to the output watts versus the relatively small speaker size, a little gain goes a long way. Unfortunately, there is no external speaker output, which is too bad as it would be interesting to play this amp thru a larger speaker to maximize the potential. Of course, with some very basic electronic skills, one can always make a speaker output connection.Read full review

Fairly Good Beginner's Amplifier. The Clean Channel Has A Decent Equalization Section. Typical Solid State Sound, Not Very Warm But Is Crisp And Good For Electric And Acoustic/Electric Guitars . The Gain And Over Drive Channel Is Just Plain Horrible! I Tried A Jenson P10 Speaker And The Sound Was Improved Greatly! Rated At 15watts But Being VERY LOUD! Using A Leader 100mg Oscilloscope & 2K Test Tone, I Achieved 36Watts Output. Scratching My Head I Opened It Up. Indeed, I Found A TDA2050 Amplifier Installed, I Believe Switching Out The Low End Speaker For Maybe A Celestin 25 Or Jenson Mod 8 The Amplifier Just Might Have Some Promise. The Headphone Output Breaks Up At 2.5 On The Clean Settings And Unbearable On The Gain Settings. The Auxiliary Jacks Are Notorious For Blowing The Amp If You Overdrive The Input. A MP3 Player Or Cellphone Is About All The Auxiliary Can Handle. Being A Practice Amplifier, At The Price Range And Sound. I'd Say It's Superior To Any Amp In That Category. In Closing, Out Of The Box, You Actually Can't Beat This Little Amplifier, At This Price Mark. For Practice, It Is An Excellent Choice, For Gigging, Leave It Home.Read full review

Reasonable output, but I do have to run it at about two-thirds max volume. Treble and base controls are fine. Like the portability.

I have the 15G and my only complaint is that I didn't get it with reverb. But I have a good reverb pedal to compensate for that. I have a lot of amps of different wattages, but late at night I can play this with the headphones, or if my wife is watching tv in another room I can play through the speaker without disturbing her. It is a great practice amp, which means it's not really meant to be very loud, if you want a louder version try a 25R. The tones and reverb sound Fender is famous for come through this little beauty. The clean channel is classic sounding and the dirty channel has plenty of drive for the size. No reason to complain about the sound from me,

This amplifier was purchased because I needed a dependable practice amp. When it arrived I was surprised how small it was, but it looked great and was definitely a Fender. It has all the Fender look, lines and characteristics. So I hooked it up to my old Silvertone and that's when I got a real surprise! This compact amp puts out volume that is hard to believe! For a Solid State modern amp the sound and tone is quite dynamic. The compactness is especially great when you have limited space to play. It is tough, sturdy and has guts. Definitely an essential part of my practice and it's easy to transport anywhere.
