#FENDER BANDMASTER VINTAGE MODIFIED HEAD CRACK#

Sounds great on all the other pickup settings however.Дigital effects: The reverb is digital, and to be honest, although some people rave about this being the classic Fender reverb sound, in my opinion, it SOUNDS digital. Granted, I've been playing this at moderate volumes, so I'm not getting the power tubes cooking, but still, it's a bright amp. On the bridge pickup, I have to roll back the tone knob on my American strats and lower the treble down while turning up the mids and bass. I've found the drive channel to be too bright however, even running it through the G12H30's (which aren't fully broken in yet). The EQ of this amp is the typical 3 band EQ. Not a good amp for heavier styles though. No complaints at all.Дrive Channel: This is one of the smoothest distortions I've heard on a Fender amp, and gives you a good range for blues, classic rock, and hard rock.

It does get warmed up a bit running through the power section and gives you that classic Fender clean sound. The build quality is pretty consistent with alot of production amps these days, and overall I'd rate it as average.Д¬lean channel: The clean channel of this amp is SOLID STATE, which I have no problems with. This could cause a problem with a little tug on the guitar cable, but the feet can be easily replaced. Fender opted NOT to use rubber feet on this amp, instead using nail on metal feet. I would have liked to have seen Fender use a thicker piece of wood for the back panel.

The back panel is a little flimsy and I think a hard hit to the back of the amp could crack the panel. This may be due to the fact that the reverb is digital so there is no tank inside to add extra weight. I bought one of the Fender Bandmaster Vintage Modified heads over a week ago and paired it up with an Avatar cab loaded with two Celestion G12H30's and here are my initial impressions.Д«uild quality: The tolex is flawless as is the grill cloth, and this head is VERY light.
