It does what they say!

I am really surprised about the sound! This amp rocks- I have played it with my PRS LTD. Edition White Mira and my PRS SCJ Thin Line and it sounds so good both clean and with some Dirt added in and I... read more [+] feel that I can tell what my guitar really sounds like. For my Home playing requirements this amp really matches up with the sound I like.
Nice Job Fender! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Brian Cravens
Having the perfect tone is priceless. The Fender '57 Champ has the perfect tone to reveal the character of your guitar in the studio or mic'd up at a live gig. Crank it up. All the way. The Weber speaker will handle it. 5 watts never sounded better.
