Well it came in 2 hours ago and I'd just got through playing with this amazing little toy.
http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=2351000000
It's a 15 watt solid state guitar amplifier with a special designed 8" speaker. Yea, lots of 15 watt 8" speaker boxes all over the place but this one, Fender claims, is one of a kind. This one, the smallest member of the G-Dec family, is a band in a box. Retailed for $180 it's got:
15 effect settings - 16 amplifier types - 15 rhythm/bass loops with selectable keys in D to D# (spans over an octave)
and more.
I like the amp. I tried out bunch of combinations and found a nice combo that I jammed and jammed on it for a long time. The amp sounded damn good with everything running. Everything are adjusted with knobs which is a big plus and only one button to push and that's to toggle the ryhthm section.
One row of knobs to adjust the amp and another row of knobs for the rhythm section. Simplicity at its best. :)
Also got a built in E tuner. That's right, an E tuner so you would have to know how to relatively tune the other strings or have another tuner.
I saw several advantages of this amp and what it can be used for:
As a stand alone amp with the amp and fx selects.
As a rhythm machine for someone who's playing an acoustic guitar, harp, and what have you, even singing. :)
And as a band, (Your Name) and the G-Decs. :Dude:
