Guy,s i have a Fender Chorus that i know nothing about.It has 2-12 Fender speaker,s Fiddle player gave it to me. Played thru it at home and sound,s pretty good but have no idea if it will work for steel. Can you;ll help me.Thank,s guy,s==Jim Harper

Jim,
I had a fender Ultimate Chorus amp once. It was nice, great for guitar, and a good practice amp for steel. I like a little of the chorus effect on slow steel melodies and fills. It did not have enough head room for gigs on steel. IF I remember correctly, it was rated at 50 watts. Even the Nashville 112 has 85 watts, and the bigger Peavey steel amps have 200 or 300 watts. Does it say on the back anywhere what the output wattage is?

Yes it say,s 85 watt,s.I use a N-ville-112 and a session-400 so i bet you are right James, it does not,t have the power. I like plenty of head room. Thank,s James. That help,s===Jim Harper

Sorry Larry i used the wrong name and double posted it also==Jim

Larry, played the amp last night and you are sure right. Not enough power. Thank,s for the holler==Jim Harper

Jim,
If you play six string electric guitar, save it for that. Otherwise, sell it to a guitar player and get something new for your steel rig! Have fun...
