Bought this for my daughter and it sounds great. Plenty of volume for practicing, clean tone, and easy controls. The headphone output is a huge bonus. Plug in and it sounds even better, plus she can practice without shaking the walls. Solid Fender build, simple to use, and perfect for a beginner or bedroom setup. Exactly what we needed. Read more

I've owned my classical guitar and baritone uke for a couple of years and both came with pickups for an amp. Took me this long to finally start the search for the right amp for my needs - which is for home use, for my own pleasure. I had no idea what to expect since I've had zero experience with amps, so did a lot of looking on Amazon and narrowed it down to either Orange and Fender. I went with Fender because of its reputation and they had the best price for a 10W amp, and honestly, I didn't want that ugly orange thing in my living room. Ha! Today I tried both my guitar and uke with this little amp and was blown away with how much better they sound plugged in! I experienced no buzz or feedback as other have described. It can go from pretty soft to very loud with no distortion. I love the treble/bass controls that really make them both sound deeper and richer. It has other features that I will never use in my setting with these instruments. I imagine that even for a small, intimate venue, this little amp would be sufficient for a classical guitar or uke. It's small, but not too small. Lightweight, but with a substantial feel. The handle on top makes it easy to carry wherever it needs to go, but fits perfectly under my desk next to my guitar, taking up very little space, and that's where it will stay. I think the price is very reasonable for it's class, and you can't beat the Fender name for quality amps. I may not know much about amps, but I know what sounds good, and this one does! So, if someone is looking for a small, but powerful amp for home use, this one is worth a try. Tip - If its "shipped from/sold by" Amazon (rather than 3rd-party seller), it will be easier to return if you don't like it. But I'm very pleased with my purchase; it's a keeper. Read more

What the other reviewers have said is true: the clean tones are pretty good, the distortion is not so good, the volume is more than enough for practice, and the tiny size makes it very portable and extremely user friendly. Also, as compared to my tube Fender Champion 600, it is much quieter, as one would expect from a solid state amp. Because the Champ drives me nuts with all of its odd hums, pops, and buzzes, and because I really don't want to lay out a couple of hundred bucks right now to experiment with a bunch of different tubes, I got this amp as a quieter practice amp that I might tinker with. So, soon after buying it, I replaced its speaker with the Italian-made Jensen Modern series 6" 4 ohm ("MOD 6-15") unit also available from amazon, which ironically is often bought to improve the sound of the Champion. Now the clean tone is very good, with a hint of the "chirp" or "crunch" I get from the Champion with sharp pick attacks, though without the overall tube warmth. The distortion is a little less disastrous if you keep the gain at 5 or below, but all I really care about is the clean tone. The new speaker produces more volume and clarity at a given setting so I can get a reasonably loud sound without turning up the Telecaster volume control past the point where the single coil hum kicks in. This modification took all of 5 minutes to do. So, with $59 in the amp and $29 in the speaker, I've got a tiny $88 amp with pretty darn good clean sound and minimal noise. Now I'm trying to figure out if I really want to keep the Champion, though I probably will given how special the tube sound is. Even if you don't do this easy modification, it's important to remember to adjust your pickup heights slowly and methodically to get the maximum clarity out of the amp. For those of you who might have gotten this amp as starter unit or as part of a beginner's package, consider the speaker change. It really does help. After the "transplant," with amp volume at 4.5, treble at 5, bass at 3.5 and my guitar volume control at about 2/3, this little amp doesn't sound tiny or "tinny" at all. It easily fills my living room with that classic Telecaster twang! Read more
