Value For Money : Excellent
Everything is already said on this point!
Note: Fender spring reverb.
Level connectivity is missing is the headphone jack and the XLR!
Well, there's all that is what!

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use even if the opportunities require some fairly extensive hours of testing to find his personal settings.
The rendering is very different at low volumes, especially for the drive channel. So do not crack on the distortion in a test store, you may be disappointed.

SOUNDS

I play with a Squier Stratocaster Mexico in 1996 (better than Asians today!).
My record is roughly: the math-rock post-rock to stuff enough noise ...
To give some significant influences: Sonic Youth, Mogwai, Don Caballero, Fugazi, Isis or Shellac ...!!
We can get a little of everything with this amp is very versatile, the clean sound is really fun, dynamic and crystalline, like Fender's reputation but beware: it's still a transistor amp!
Drive channel with its functions "Drive", "more drive" and "mid contour" can go a very showy e disto stuff to very heavy. That said, a good pedal is always welcome: I use the Custom Overdrive MXR Wylde home and the channel of the amp Drive.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year, also on stage when I had the opportunity to urge him to bottom (it's not often!) And I must say that it would like the road, the two bowls 12 "can restore the power delivered without worry.
The big problem is that the spread is very directional (apparently everyone is not my opinion ...!). It is enough to shift from 30 ° to the front of the amp and you lose much in volume. That said, I prefer to play alongside rather than in front so it does not bother me too much.
I tried the Marshall and Randall (hybrid) to € 500 and there's no picture, clear sound for such and such a power at that price: it's Fender! Very good quality / price ratio.
I am very happy and with a budget of less than € 500 for nine of stuff I would do this choice again.
Now I want a tube amp because it's still something else but I do not separate myself as much for it.
