Fender Frontman 2 X 12" with resistor

Good amp, very high output power (100 W), two channels (clean and drive/more drive), spring verb

Pots from left to right:

[both channels]master volume /[clean] treble, mid, bass /[overdrive] drive, volume, treble, mid, bass /[both channels] reverb

Switches:

- channel select
- more drive (= overdrive channel)
- mid contour (= overdrive channel)

Connections:

-Input 1
-Input 2
-Footswitch
-Pre out (= line out)
-PWR in (= additional input for other sound sources: mp3, CD, digital piano...)

I rated it 9/10 because it is very heavy!!


UTILIZATION

Very easy to use: you'll easily find your own tone and won't need to read the manual!!

SOUNDS

Very versatile amp!!!

The clean channel can provide a "dry" or "fat" response.

Overdrive channel:
- drive: crunch sound, very good for blues
- more drive: good for hard rock and heavy metal

I use almost only the clean channel with a Boss DS-2 stomp box. The result is quite good ^^

8/10 because of the huge output power of the amp (master volume set to two for rehearsals and three for live gigs. Too much power for me)
Overall opinion 9/10
I've been using it for over one year. It's my first "big amp".
Very good value for money.
Based on my experience, I would buy another amp to discover something different.


OVERALL OPINION

9/10
