firstly.. to iamqman's review below, I'm not sure he even knows what he's reviewing because this is NOT a "modelling" amp. It's ALL real electronics, actual circuitboards that switch path when you switch the amp model, it's a solid state (+tube) AMP. The DSP/Software side comes in when switching profiles/amps it changes the 'sound' of the on-board EQ points and some other things to mimic the originals more closely. Again, the actual sound is going through real hardware, real electronics... this has NOTHING to do with Fender's follow up and lower rent actual modelling amps.
I suggest his review is ignored entirely as describing it as a "computer with a speaker on" is highly inaccurate, it has nothing to do with the line 6/POD type of emulation either, it's not 'pure software'.
The AMP and it's smaller brother (Cyber Deluxe) are great little amps, misunderstood by many (inc @iamgman sadly) due to the inclusion of some DSP tech and profiling features/FX from the digital realm. Fender created a really unique piece with the Cyber's switching actual circuits and real hardware/electronics when you change amp type (not software).
It has its downsides but if you treat them as VERY GOOD solid state amps then you'll not hear much better vs other solid states. If you wanted a deluxe reverb real tube obv you'll need to go get one, but for everything else this does a great little job for what it is and how much you can now grab them for.
