«  Good but ... »

Characteristics are given in another opinion, so I will not repeat ...

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple we can ...
The manual has remained packed ;)
The sound is easy to find but it is not in the high end, that's for sure!

SOUNDS

I had this amp ready for a concert Saturday night. I chose (the guy, very nice in the store told me verbatim "take what you need", if this is not cool, that!) For its small size because the scene was inaccessible by car .
He is not heavy, and I could put in a footswitch (Laney, but compatible) and a distortion pedal / overdrive, plus supplies and cables.
In sound, this amp does not like large distortion! Not much of a problem in this case since it was not necessary, but annoying when you want to make the music a little harder ...
Clear his side, things are going well. The sound is acceptable to. If I had a little more room, I would have shipped a chorus or flanger but hey, we traveled light!

OVERALL OPINION

I used the time for a concert. The practical aspect is to connect it directly to a mixer without a microphone in front of the amp.
I usually play on a Marshall Vintage Modern and clearly, the difference is size (thank goodness ...).
I was told before the show that I'll buy maybe, but not finally, I reported to the store.
I find it expensive (389 euros) issue price / quality. This is not a yucky amp, but I think there are way to have a more versatile amp with a good sound clear and distortion, through a transistor amp for example! For me, there is no point to have in this case a tube amp (if it is only to say that we have a tube amp ...).
Too expensive to start, not good enough for experienced guitarists: so good for whom?
They say you can change the sound of the Fender program, but that I have not tested ...
