All user reviews of 1/5 for the Fender FM 212R

A priori good technical specifications .... especially at this price and fender

UTILIZATION

Unable to properly rgler volume we pass one of silence its too hard without finding a intermdiaire.

SOUNDS

Then I could not be more angry with this amp. The point of having a 100 W is able to grow on scne and he DGIG saturation makes a sharp breath sound more inaudible and you break the eardrums in no time. ... frankly that breath is unsustainable both in RPET in concert. Impossible to remain a vicinity of the amp and if s'loigne you understand nothing.
2 points for the clean sound remains coutable.

OVERALL OPINION

Cheap acccord of excuses ..... but not all. Bought 2 months ago .... dja relisted for something less powerful .... but clean at least.

Read coms previous ones ..

UTILIZATION

Ah to be simple, it's easy! But qd it comes to getting a good sound that's impossible ..!
Whether or low volume background nothing can draw!

SOUNDS

I use it in RPET pRPA DEM jazz workshop with ES135, its impossible to get a correct ...!!
We tried it with the other guitarist Les Paul Standard and an even with a Start, it's still stiff, and then the body vibrates with a no .. it's horrible!
Not to mention the rverb ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it twice a week for a year, do not buy this amp is a pure crap!!
Dailleurs I do not even we can make crappy amps also ..!!! Well done Fender!
Better to put some rounds and could take a good old Peavey Bandit, there's no picture!

The all black version of the Fender frontman which is only cosmetically different then the silverface once from Fender that you would normally see. Same lame features of terrible sounding solid state tone.

What is this amp....is what I'm thinking when I first glance at it? It looks very deceiving because it looks like a Fender Twin or something but it doesn't have any tube and it's not an amp modeling even though it is priced at that price point. If you see this thing at yard sale beware because you might think you're looking at a Twin Reverb but you come to find out it is some solid state two speaker waste of time.

It has three channels that sound awful besides the clean channel. The clean sounds decent but god lord this amp is terrible!!

SOUNDS

NO tonal change between this amp and the terrible sounding silverface edition. This thing is so bad I am actually embarrassed to have listened to it. It sounds horrible with any guitar and and effect pedal you put through it. It takes pedals extremely bad and guitar sound like your playing hasn't improved since you first picked up a dusty acoustic guitar.

This amp...I'm sorry is just garbage. I am not sure what the point is for this amp. I have been trying to wrap my head around why Fender would market this product and I can't come to any conclusion. They have a Mustang series amps that are around the same price point and do amp modeling which sound far more superior if that's possible with an amp modeler to this thing.

OVERALL OPINION

At new they come in at around $300. Which to me is about $200 too much. I didn't give this an unusable rating since it does have a Fender clean tone, but if you want any amount of distortion then throw this thing off a roof and buy a Roland amp modeler or a Line 6. Who would I recommend this to...no one! Don't waste you time getting a Twin Reverb look a like solid state paper weight.

Not only do I think the tone of this amp is terrible but slapping a new tolex cover on it and calling it a Limited Edition is a bit much for a solid state amp. Same amp as the standard black Frontman, but just in a hideous red colored tolex. Same features and lousy tone as the original amp.
