    Purchased to use as portable Stratocaster amp. Meets my needs without lugging heavy more-functional amp around. 8" speaker more than adequate for my use. Typical Fender quality and warranty.

  • Yes / perfect for new players/ no confusing buttons & knobs

    For the price, I think this amp sounds pretty good. My son and I are just getting into guitar, so I'm no expert, but definitely happy with this purchase. #sweepstakes

    Can I plug a wireless microphone receiver into the Aux In jack?  In other words, what are the input sensitivity ratings for both inputs: guitar and aux in?

    No, it wants a high impedance signal: Something with a 1/4" or 1/8" jack.10,000 Hz to 150,000 Hz. Your receiver probably has an XLR out. That's low impedance 2) Numbers like that don't matter. They don't tell you anything. It specs at 1M ohm.
