I'm using this amp on a 2x12" closed back cabinet with 2 12" Celestion Vintage 30's, and it sounds AMAZING.
I am also very surprised that a lot of people do not experiment with the Fuse software for this amp. It makes a HUGE difference and gives you the ability to change a wide variety of the effects and voicing sounds. First thing i did was go into the Fuse software and roll down the Mid Range EQ to about 4-5, as everyone knows that Fender Amps tend to be a bit much on the mid range scoop area. That alone makes a big bump in sound quality.
I have not gigged with this set up, but im sure it would be plenty loud enough for a smaller group and in a smaller area. I usually only play with a few other guitarists at a smaller bar, not full volume or with a loud drummer or anything. So a very good and powerful 15 watts, i have yet to feel like i needed "more power or volume".
I see folks being turned off by this being a hybrid style amp, but in my opinion you get a decent tube sound out of this and the Voice Modeling is very handy and gives you a wide variety of classic fender amp tones. A great amp for recording or goofing off at home. I have a 50 watt Tube Bugera Infinium T50 Amp, and this sounds every bit as good and loud and warm and true Tube sound. This Fender Amp actually gives me more of a broader EQ range and the effects and voicing sound good. I feel like i have more of a bottom end with this Fender than i do with my larger and all tube Bugera T50.
You can't just switch between voicing and expect each one to blow you away, you need to set the Gain and EQ appropriate to the Voicing that you are using. Once i stopped switching back and forth, and spent a few minutes on each Voice, they sounded better and more useful. Its nice being able to dial into a vintage sound, then switch over to an entirely different genre and tone, on the same amp!
The effects stock right off the amp are decent, but editing them on the Fuse software makes all the difference. Being able to modify the presets and tweak each of the voice settings really allows you to dial in a plethora of good tones. Stacking effects and changing their order is very nice feature as well. (with Fuse)
Only thing i can complain about is there is no Effects Loop on the amp. Which depending on your choice of effects, its not the end of the world.
I have not changed the Tubes, i think they sound decent and "fender" enough as it is. I would totally buy it again.
I'll start by saying, Fender Nailed it - Low Cost - Low wattage - versatile TUBE Amp!!!! this amp is almost too loud for being in the low wattage category... but since it has the Gain and Volume it really opens up around level 5, and also is a decent bedroom amp because everything is built in.. I'm practicing more, and enjoy different guitars with different voice mod selects.. hindsight I would of liked the combo I think
Right off the bat, there are 4 or 5 Voices that really caught my ear.. 65 Princeton Clean / Jazzmaster SS really good... and I' havnt even plugged it into the computer yet to tweak effects or EQ;s -- It seems excellent right out of the box.. Reverb is pretty good for digital, but I will probably use the tremolo effect on the amp and get the reverb from the pedal board eventually / once I finally get the foot switch for the amp
I play RockinCountry and like it a bit gritty, Owned a Twin and also many Solid State Fenders in the past. but prefer lower wattage tube amps in this project... Mic everything and InEarMonitors so less stage volume is key, (Its not the 80's anymore)
Iv been using an AC4Head with a 212 Fender Cab the past few years after down sizing from a Half Stack most my life.. I figured I'd get two Small single 12" amps I could run side by side in stereo off the pedal board.. to make my setup even easier and lighter.. I considered the combo but couldn't get myself to pay and Extra $100 for something I figured I'd HATE.. I'v never liked the sound of 10"s when comparing them next to a 12"...
and I really wanted to like this amp.. So I bought the head with possible intentions of ripping the head out of the box and installing it into a Fender 112 combo Cab that the power unit went out on, and this would actually fit in there pretty good.. and then installing the AC4 in a Vox 112Extension Cab that came with the head as a set.. then I would have 2 small Single 12" tube amps.. (because we all know, gigging with a tube amp, you need a Back up anyways) Long Story Short.. I ended up wiring the 212 Fender cab with a Jack for each Speaker and have the two heads plugged in the same cab... Lets just say the two blend SUPER SWEET, and still might do the two combo thing still, because this is ONE BIG SPEAKER and two Small Heads and still a bunch of wires.. but I'm super happy with it...
The free downloadable Fender Fuse software allows you to further fine tune your amp, add effect loops, and redefine presets and download them to the amp.
And a word on speaker cabinet connection: DO NOT play through the amp if not connected to a speaker cabinet. If you do you will blow the output transformer. This is not stated in the manual but is generally true of amp heads. I called Fender to confirm this information. At first the Customer Service Rep said no, it was not required to be plugged into a speaker, but I asked him to check with an engineer. He said he would and when he came back to the phone he said, you are correct, it does have to be connected to a speaker.
Overall, I do love this amp. Generally not a big amp modeling fan and prefer the straight tube sound but there are a couple of models I use. I also created a couple of my own and downloaded them to the amp. You do this by saving your custom settings to overwrite one of the factory presets. Once you do this the amp will remember them even when not connected to the computer.
I also, picked up the optional Fender FM65DSP pedal, which I strongly recommend doing. This will allow you to turn reverb on and off remotely and to go in and out of modeling with the tap of your foot.
Since it’s a Fender power amp circuit (and most 60’s Fenders used basically the same design) and a Fender product one would hope the preamp models and spring reverbs in the digital section are satisfying, and I am happy to report they are. I have owned and played many of the vintage classics and they are funkier and more organic than these models but these certainly do fine for the price and once tweaked in the software and recorded pretty much indistinguishable.
There is no effects loop or power amp input, but it’s not too hard to mod one in if you need it and are experienced working with soldering PCBs. I could but have decided not to, because the input would be post-reverb, and voice 16 “Jazzmaster” is already a digital pass through setting that’s good enough for all but the absolute purist. My external effects would have some digital anyway, and all I want the Fender power section is for Fender tones the onboard already does fine.
I’ve ordered the special footswitch (ordinary foot switches will not work properly, these are different voltages over one line) but you can survive without one as you need to access the front panel to make adjustments anyway. If you are gigging with one of these I suppose you could switch during a song if you had to. If you want real presets, get another amp, as this one doesn’t store the location of the knobs and doesn’t store an effect with an amp, and can be hard to level match on some models.
Worst negative is the Fender Fuse software has been abandoned and won’t even install on a recent MacOS. There is an Android app called Remuda/SC that’s glitchy but I was able to save 16 improved presets and both spring reverbs with it, mostly getting rid of the cab sims since I am using an open back cabinet with a Celestion 70/80 anyway and don’t need the sound so dark.
There is a line out on the back that has a permanent 4Khz lowpass on it and uses the same volume control as the speaker, and sadly, a load must be kept on the speaker out at all times on this amp as there is no dummy load or switching jack to allow silent recording. I have ordered a speaker attenuator to help deal with the volume and get that analog section heated up happily.
This is the end of the product cycle for this amp and they will likely have something better out soon enough, but it might cost a lot more and not get all that much closer to a real Fender clean tone. I am satisfied enough for the price with this and have worked around all the issues happily.
voices sound as good as well. The effects sound great and it's nice not having to carry a bunch of pedals around. An excellent amplifier for the money. Powerful enough to gig small to moderate gigs. I have been playing in bands since 1968.I have two other Fender tube amps from the mid 70's I owned a 68 Super Reverb years ago. This amp even though it is a hybred amp half digital and half tube it is a proven design. Peavey and Musicman amps were solid state preamps and tube outputs and they worked great. I have a Peavey Deuce that still works fine. However it and my other amps are heavy. This amp head is a nice weight to haul around.
I wish they would have included a true effects loop, but at least it has a line out. Also, the amp is configured for 8 ohm loads only, it would be nice to have 4 and 16 ohm outputs also.
For the price, this little guy kicks butt! I'm running it through a 1-12" semi open back cabinet with an Eminence Wheelhouse neo magnet hemp cone driver that has an efficiency of 101db, and it can keep up with a moderate drummer.
I'm very pleased!
I have not yet experimented with the Channel 2 models much but the Overdriven Princeton sounds sweet without pedals and the 70's Marshall with my Tonebone pedal is just unbelievably good considering the source. As a bonus the digital effects are actually quite nice and certainly do not sound gimmicky and in my opinion for the most part sound better than low quality pedals. I own an '80s Princeton 112, first generation Blues Jr., first generation Mustang III, and an old crate combo, and the Super Champ just blew them all away from the first E9 chord. I did miss a standby switch and really wish this amp had an effects loop but the bottom line is if you want that good clean Fender sound and the ability to overdrive that sound, this is the only game in town at this price.
