Solid state 94 wattsRMS combo, 33lbs (14,9kg) (it's size isn't exactly proportional to it's power :) ), 2 inputs, dual selectable channels, independent tone controls (clean: colume, treble, mid, bass; distorted: gain, contour, treble, bass, volume), reverb, EFX loop, headphone jack, 2-button footswitch. A comment about the EFXloop... I use a Boss ME8. This effect device has a limiter-effect; I could put up the volume of the amp as high as I wanted, the output thru the loudspeaker did not change too much. Conclusion: do not hook effects like distortion, limiters and so on to the effects loop. This loop is mainly made for effects like reverbs, echo-machines and similars. So I'm using the ME8 directly to the amp's input. The amp is VERY loud (My mom thinks that too :) )... no gigs yet, but it will certainlly do the job perfectly. Good for a stage... good for your room! An eight because this amp sometimes is too loud... the neighborhood is not always wanting to hear me play 1234, 1243, 1324 (...) exercises, besides I can't hear my metronome :P

SIMPLY FANTASTIC! The best I have ever played on... bright, clean, full tone... VERY LOUD!!! When testing, I pushed the volume to the max... the amp was moving on the floor because of the vibration! :) I HARDLY recommend this amp... GREAT! You just have to tame it... believe me... this amp has a huge response... sometimes it can even bring some problems... but nothing non-overcomeable :) The highlight on this amp is the clean sound... the distortion is very good and versatile, but the clean channel RULES!!! Doesn't distort!!! I'm having Strat sound of my headbanger's Jackson PS1 :) Anyway... I can have some nostalgia and play those traditional metal tunes too :)))) No brutal distortions... just enough :)

Reliability : 9
Seems VERY strong. I'd trust firmly on this amp. Anyway... haven't disappointed me YET... a nine it's ok :)

Customer Support : 5
This five is for the 5 year warranty... the zero goes to Fender's support itself. I had to ask people around internet to solve my volume problem on the FXloop... Fenderworld didn't have an e-mail for contact!!! :(

Overall Rating : 8
I had a Crate gx30m (which I've heard to say it's not a bad amp...) and I assure you... FENDER AMPS RULES! hmmm... 8+10+9+5... 32:4... that gives us an 8... anyway... it's a fantastic amp!

Solid state 90 watt combo. When I bought it at the store the salesman told me it was forty watts, but the other reviews prove me otherwise. It consists of two channels. The clean channel has treble, mid, and bass controls. The other channel has gain, contour, treble, and bass controls. There is one knob for reverb. There are outputs for active and passive pickups, an effects loop, headphones and a footswitch. A footswitch w/ channel selector and reverb was included w/ my amp. It has plenty of power.

Sound Quality : 5
I play with a Rogue RP-250(humbuckers) and a Fender strat. The amp sounds nice and full with humbuckers and a little thin w/ single coils. My amp is rather noisy, and it picks up radio stations real easily. I play in a band that covers many musical styles, and it fits them pretty well. My only complaint is the distortion. If I could describe it in one word, it would be "harsh". The distortion pierces my ears. There is to much squeal at high volumes. Our other guitar player plays, through a Mesa/Boogie tube combo, and our distortion sounds just do not match. The clean channel however, sounds like a million bucks. The distortion side is my only complaint.

Reliability : 6
I've had a few problems with it. I've heard a buzz lately, and sometimes my whole amp physically shakes. This rarely happens, so I haven't worried about it.

Customer Support : 6
There is a five year warranty, but I have not had it serviced.

Overall Rating : 5
This is a very good clean amp, however the distortion does not sound the greatest. I am trying to sell it, I want to get a tube amp instead. If I had enough money, I would keep it and use it as just a clean channel amp. It has plenty of power, and it is good for the price. However, I would probably go the tube amp route.

I don't go out and just buy things, research is my maiden name. After weeks of reviews and guitar shop chopping and hacking and hundreds of laughs, dirty looks, and back & forth headshakes, all the way from Ft. Worth Texas to L.A. ; I decided this was the amp that suits my needs. It has 2 channels with foot switch supplied, solid state with plenty of power. The paperwork says 90w, I don't know about that but I do know I can make the dog disapear for hours.

Sound Quality : 9
I play a Heritage 150cm with standard humbuckers, my first electric guitar and amp, finally felt ready to move forward from acoustic ranks. After 3 months of almost daily use I rate this amp a 10, however my girlfriend thinks the sounds I make suck, so I will drop the rating to 9 out of respect for her opinion (surely its the amp and not my musical talent).

Reliability : 10
No problems but havn't had it long, 5 year transferrable warranty speaks for itself in this day and age.

I have played a Martin D-1 for several years, owned a Kay flat top since 1965. This amp totally suits my needs and skills so far, I wonder if I will ever have the skills to use it to its full potentials. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention....ITS LOUD!

this is a kick ass amp! i have apicture with kurt standing next to it. That says enough for me to believe in it's reliability. He destroyed everything. The distortion is kinda gay though. not enough sound. It's 94 watts and in my band right now i can drown out everyone including the drummer.

Sound Quality : 9
I play nirvana, metalica, nirvana, and my own stuff. I LOVE this amp. It has a great sound on the clean channel. The distortion is kind of weak though

Reliability : 10
It NEVER broke 4 kurdt kobain(kurt cobain) or me enough said

This is a three channel amp (reverb,distortion,and clean). The amp is equiped with preamp,poweramp, footswitch,and headphone jacks. It has two inputs, two seperate volume controls for clean and the distortion channel , it ha s trebel knobs and bass knobs,this amp also has a contour,gain,mid,and a reverb knob.

Sound Quality : 7
This amp picks up lots of feed back with hardly any volume on the distortion channel with the slightest amount of gain. And the contour knob has no purpose being there becuase you can't use because it picks up feed back so bad. The clean channel is great. In conclusion I play in a band and we use lots of gain so if you're looking for lot's of gain this is not the amp to buy.

I play everything blues,country,metal,even clasical through this amp, amp sounds excellent. Every person who tries it tell me its the best amp they have heard including users of tubeworks,marshalls, and peavey classics.Sound ranges from very clean to very heavy metal sounding, very loud.

Would definitely buy again, still have haven't heard an amp I like better. The only thing I wish it had is a post volume on the clean channel, its hard to make fine volume adjustment without blasting your ears.

Two Channels, clean and drive, pre-amp out, power amp in, foot switch, head phones, and reverb. Very versatile amp, you can push just about any sound out of it. This is a very loud amp, good enough for clubs maybe even smaller arenas. Chorus is the only thing that I wish it had, but you can fix that with a pedal.

Sound Quality : 9
Wicked sound, I tried several other amps, including several tube amps, and the duluxe had a richer sound than all of them. No noise even at higher volume levels, the clean channel is surprisingly loud and doesn't distort. I play a tele through it and even with the higher volume levels the tones stays rich and doesn't start to break up.

Reliability : 10
It's brand new so I don't know yet. But the two other fender amps I've owned haven't given me any problems.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Haven't had the chance to find out.

I would buy it again in a second. Compared to the other amps I tried this one had the best sound for the price. I have no complaints and am really happy with it. It has enough volume to cut through the drums. Great amp! Buy it!

I was surprised by the versatility and especially the power of this amp. The Fender catalog and the tag at the store said it has 65 watts. The amp is actually 94 watts. Dual selectable channels, independent tone controls, reverb, EFX loop, headphone jack, and footswitch included. I wanted an amp primarily for practice and private playing that could also be used in a warehouse jamming with some friends from work. This amp does a great job at both. Sounds good at low volumes (and doesn't make me miss the tube amp I had before). From warm and bluesy, to crisp and crunchy it does it well. And, it holds its own with bigger (and more expensive) equipment. I'm impressed. Especially for the price.

Sound Quality : 8
I play Beatles/Stones/CCR etc. stuff on my Rick 330. It all sounds great on this amp. It's also capable of some brutal distortion, but I don't play metal or lead so I wouldn't be a good judge of the amp's capabilites in that area. (You need to ask some of those kids who are always wailing away on the Strats at the music store.)

Reliability : No Opinion
Haven't had it long enough for anything to break. I don't expect problems from Fender. I have had good experiences with their equipment.

Customer Support : No Opinion
Haven't needed any repairs.

I definitely would buy it again at this price. It's perfect for my needs. I'd have no trouble recommending it to others.

Has some cool stuff on it. 2 channels both with volume and EQ. Reverb that works in both channels, headphones a preamp in and power amp out, which can be used with a mixer or recorder. the in and out that be used as effects loops also. This is one LOUD amp! At home I don't push it past 1 or 2 in fear of breaking the windows.

Sound Quality : 10
95 watts of pure power. This has a nice clean tone that can be changed to make any sound you could possibly want. The Distortion is great to mess around with the contour and EQ and you can get some anything from a little dirty sound to pure Death Metal.

Reliability : No Opinion
Never broke down, hadn't had it that long

Customer Support : No Opinion
never dealt with them. 5 year warrenty, has a service center 5 minutes away.

Overall Rating : 10
I am very glad I bought it and I recommend it to anybody, but I would not buy any one amp twice so I would buy it again. I always get better and better amps.
