60 watts, (6L6 tube) channel switching amp with reverb, effects loop, foot switch, line out and speaker out jack. It came with a 12" Fender Special Design speaker ( most likely Fane)The reverb is not switched and that is somewhat a hassle. The treble, mid, and bass controls work excellent to color the sound. The presence control is so - so.

I use an early 70's stock Fender Strat, early 70's Les Paul and my son's 70's Flying V with this amp. I play mostly Blues and Rock through it and it does kick ass once I adjust it to the guitar I'm using. The amp once re-tubed (I bought it used for under $200.00 buck and what a steal) is the quietest amp I have ever owned, and I've owned Marshall, Boogie MKII, etc. For the money this amp does the nasty & woman tone extremely well. The lead channel can become a screaming animal if not adjusted correctly. I can't believe that I enjoy this amp more than all the amps I've paid mucho peso's for.

The amp once re-tubed is built like an old Buick! So far so good!!

I haven't dealt with Fender for this amp, but I have in the past and I have had extremely good luck with them. Their web page "e" mail answers promptly also. Getting parts shipped is another story (snail slow)
