Can anyone vouch for the FM 212R?

My friend got one pretty recently, and we're probably going to use it for recording. He was looking for a high-wattage amp.

Its only 300... Is a peice of crap, or is it worth more than every penny? We'll eventually be gigging with it, I think.

They don't want no change. We already have.

    I ASSUME you mean this:

    (It helps if you include a manufacturer and basic description... "Fender FM 212R guitar combo amp"... and a link to an example helps a lot, too)

    I've had bad luck with Fender's solid-state amps. Their clean channels are pristine, but can be kind of bright, and I never liked any distortion on board one of them. It will certainly be loud enough, and fairly dependable (much more than a tube amp!). But if it sounds good, that's the most important thing... they're probably built like a tank if they live up to my experience with SS Fenders.

    It certainly has good feedback ratings on the MF site... I would look here, too:

    http://www.harmony-central.com has reviews of just about anything... they're a priceless resource. I encourage your buddy to leave feedback about the amp once he gets used to it, too... there's only one review on there now.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.
