Okay I played out tonight with the new Fender SFX amp at out local senior center jam session. I wanted to see and hear how well it would stand up in a live situation...so I came early and set up the amp....I played the new Pono DS-20 with the LR Baggs M80 pickup in it. I had about a half hour to kill so I just started noodling a few tunes, members of the crowd kept coming up and saying how good it sounded. The rest of the musicians got there and one by one noticed the new amp. I played it for about two hours with the rest of the band. I didn't play too loud so as to drown out the P.A. but I certainly could have. I played quietly to blend in....but still be distinctly heard. I got the low end growl I was looking for in the Pono, and that was with the bass turned down. My guitar sounded very clear and cut right thru all the noise. The P.A system has a SM57 directed at the lead singer's guitar. That sounded really boomy next to my amp...it didn't sound good at all next to my amp...the SFX sounded great and all the musicians noticed it. At the end of the night one musician asked if he could play his Guild thru it...I let him and he said that amp made his guitar sound like a million !! Which it did !!! He didn't say what kind of pickup he had but it must have had a pre-amp because his guitar was much louder than mine...I'm running in passive mode with no preamp.

The room was about 100' x 100', an old gymnasium, and the SFX had plenty of power to fill that room with sound !!!! We had a full house tonight and there was lots of crowd noise, but the SFX cut through all of it with plenty of power to spare. So all in all the live experiment with the SFX was a great success.

.I just received this amp today....I was hoping it would sound as good as the demo's I heard....It blows the demos away, it sounds sooo much better in person....I love everything about this amp...I have 3 main guitars that I'll use with this amp, a D-35 with a Lyric pickup, a D18 with a M1A pickup and a Taylor 12 string with a Gold Line pick up....all three sound great with this amp. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this amp, but I've been playing thru it all day, and love it. It's a lot of money, but worth every penny.

.This amp is a jewel... I was very impressed with the sonic details and Fender's use of the modulated "Stereo" effect that is used in it. The Other effects were superb. ( I do wish there was a few more combinations, but isn't the full point of this piece of gear) I can't say enough about it's design and looks. The use of The outputs are perfect for both stage and recording.What a beautiful piece of art... and the commitment that fender made to think out of the "box"...

.I demo'd a bunch of acoustic amps. Wanted something nice for my 50th birthday.

Nothing else came close. Not only is the guitar sound stellar, this thing is shockingly good for vocals. I have chills just writing this, seriously. Clear, clear, beautiful sound, makes me sound much better than I ever have. For the singer/player, this is perfect.

.I Have been a Professional Custom Guitar 50 Years and a Fender Guy since 1966. I owned the First Fender SFX II for about 7 years of Weekly Performances and loved it.( More importantly, My Venues/Customers Loved it) When it came time to retiring it, I purchased the 2nd generation of Fender's Acoustisonic Amps...which I sent back within a few days (N/G)....BUT ... This new Fender Acoustisonic SFX II is Every Bit as Good as the First Generation I had AND....it's at least 20 labs lighter:)
The Build on these Amps is Stellar... The quality and DESIGN is Refreshing: even Iconic Workmanship....More over, The SOUND is That Breathtaking Huge Expanded SFX II STEREO Sound that only This Fender Model Produces. Believe me, I have 4 other Amps for this Genre' and the Fender SXF II is in a Class of it's Own....Nothing else even compares. My Venues can not believe the Amazing Fullness of this "Little" amp and are as pleased as I am with it's Huge Sound.
