Amp transistor, but the simulations of tube amp sounds are well done.
The power of 30 W can play in rehearsal with a drummer that hits moderately, otherwise it is possible to connect its output to another more powerful amp. The connection is complete, the settings simple, and the effects of good quality except for the phaser, which is frankly useless and very basic pitch shifter.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use, the manual is in French. Some pre-programmed sound effects are exaggerated, others are perfect as the sound for the Bakersfield country. Connecting to a PC via a USB - midi works with the preset editor to load the site of Fender. All Programs site for this Fender amp does not work, you must wait for new versions. The update has not yet market despite numerous tests. The footswitch seems to me essential, especially to record loops without letting go of the guitar

SOUNDS

The sounds are excellent. The clean sounds worthy of an old twin, the cool crunch like a mesa, and the distorted sounds very compelling. I compared the sound with the original amps next is up to it, except the hp should not grow in volume, it is only 30W! I love all the sounds of this amp. Previously, I was never excited about modeling (line6, vox) but I say hats. Even the simulation of acoustic amp is clean.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three months, and I like the concept. I even plug it as a preamp on my boogie for clean sounds with delay and reverb.
You can play alone for hours by recording loops, and everything is easy to use. It would be nice if in the future stretched Fender recording time of the loop, and the phaser, it is better to insert his MXR.
