[usr 5] I’ve given this amp a 5/5 for obvious reasons. Not only is the amp of superior build quality, it’s small light and sounds bigger than it’s physical size. It sounds great with a Stratocsater, Telecaster, and Humbucker guitars (more videos to follow). If you want the best small amp around, check this Fender Champ Replica. I have no hesitations saying it’s built better than Fender Custom Shop amplifiers.
