IS it worth buying?? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

It was the first amp I bought came highly recommended by a friend as we were browsing Craigslist. Played it almost everyday for a couple of years till I sold it to buy a mesa, wish I woulda kept it.

Unfortunately me and many of my friends agree that the distortion is not a good side of Fender amps...unless You play blues I kind of agree with Darius, you really won't get much "metal" out of it, hard rock is okay, but if you're playing metalcore or anything heavier, you probably want something with the amp to boost the lows so you can get that punch out of your riffs. For the leads, I think it has more than enough presence, you'll be fine for that. You can try a tubescreamer, any boost pedal or an OD pedal with the drive to 0 and volume all the way up.

Fender amps usually takes whatever pedal you put in front of it anyway, so if you want gain you can buy a JHS Angry Charlie or Mad Professor Stone Gray Distortion.

Anytime I switch the cable to the amps build-in distortion it winds in case of dynamics and the "breathing treble end". There was always something wrong with the tone for me even thought some of devices were pretty close. The harderst part to handle for the stomp distortions is how the sound when You turn down the guitar volume knob. Good amps give You natural, clean tone while most stomp boxes sound lie chewing gum. Most of comparisons are objective only at the stage volume level when some external devices seems to appear with ear hurting 2,5 kHz clips...instead of bulid-in distortion of the amp which seems to sound natural even though some huge amount of high frequencies is coming out.

Love the styles of Joe Satriani , Steve Vai and EVH. Also love that Eric Johnson sound but I always remember what a really good guitar player told me once he said a good guitar player can make anything sound good but that's where I come up with another dilemma! are Tube amps better, although I think Tube amps sound a lot warmer.

I have the Ht-1 and it's amazing. The dynamics are awesome. If you adjust the gain level well (I use the clean chanel with all the gain and a Boss Ds-1 with the gain turned almost completely off to boost the treble ferqs) you can switch between a belivable clean tone and a good metal tone with just changing the pick attack.

I like the flexability and versitality... and for the price it is hard to beat. You can check out my YT page or REC takes on my profile if you would like to hear a variety tones with this amp. Most of the takes I also use a blend of a Ibanez tube screamer with the Fender drive channel. Also heard great things about Blackstar amp too! Need to check one out myself. Curious to see what amp you go with! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Good build standard and good range of usable tones. He's a pro musician running several bands and has played a heap of gigs with it. This was a 2007 build and is holding up really well. They seem to sell well on ebay, so if you can get it for a reasonable price then go for it; if it doesn't work out for you then you should be able to sell it on easily without losing money.

You must definitely give it a shot. My friend also uses an MXR EQ pedal, so he can change the texture of his tone when he is soloing. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
