Fender Review: Ultimate Chorus

History:

Purchase: RECENTLY BOUGHT A USED FENDER DELUXE TELE 1996 LOVE IT AND PLAYING THROUGH A CRATE AMP SOUNDED GOOD BUT... WELL I FELT IT DESERVED A FENDER AMP AND WAS I EVER RIGHT! THE REASONS I PICKED THE ULTIMATE CHORUS AFFORDABLE/ GREAT TONE /AND TRULEY GREAT CHORUS PAID $400 LOCAL STORE LAST YEARS MODEL AND WITHOUT THE DSP (WHICH IS ON ALL NEW ULTIMATE CHORUS AMPS) I THINK THE DSP SUCKS AND IT'S A MISTAKE NOT KEEPING THE OPTION TO PURCHASE WITHOUT DSP THOUGH IT ONLY ADDS ABOUT $100 TO THE COST I CAN SPEND THAT MONEY AND GET A SHURE SM-57 MIC AND BE HAPPY.

What I Like About This Fender Ultimate Chorus: AS I MENTIONED TONE .I DID NOT MENTION VOLUME BUT THIS CAN BE A L O U D AMP IF THAT'S YOUR THING . 2 X 12" SPEAKERS 2 CHANELS 65 WATTS EACH OR 130 WATTS IN STEREO. GREAT RECORDING AMP CLEAN SOUND CLASSIC AND DIRTY ADD GAIN AND EVEN AT LOW VOLUME LONG SUSTAIN AND JUST THE RIGHT SOUND. ROCK/BLUES/COUNTRY COVERED AND UNBELIEVABLE SOUND FROM ALL SOLID STATE WITH A 5 YR WARRANTEE

What I Do NOT Like About The Fender Ultimate Chorus: AS SOME HAVE MENTIONED ON OTHER MODELS IN DYNA TOUCH SERIES THE REVERB GETS CHEAP SOUNDING ANY HIGHER THAN 3.5 SETTING BUT SOUNDS FINE UP TO THAT AND I'M FINE WITH THAT.

Fender Ultimate Chorus Quality Rating: STRONG CLASSIC FENDER LOOK AND QUALITY / FRIENDS HAVE SIMILAR AMPS WITHOUT PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE BRUTAL ON ALL THEIR STUFF.

Review Summary: I CONSIDER IT THE POOR MAN'S TWIN REVERB THOUGH THE STAGE 160 MAY BETTER DESERVE THAT TITLE THE RICH CHORUS MADE THIS MY CHOICE. MUSICIAN'S FRIEND HAD A GREAT DEAL ON THESE AMPS ABOUT A YEAR AGO I MISSED OUT ON IT AND WAS LUCKY TO FIND THE ONLY ONE IN THIS AREA. I WOULD RECCOMEND IT TO ANYONE WANTING FENDER SOUND AND ON A LIMITED BUDGET EXPECT IT'S H U G H SOUND TO LAST

Rating of this Fender product: 5
