All user reviews of 4/5 for the Fender FM 212R

See the previous post

UTILIZATION

The confiiguration relativemeny is simple. You plug your guitar, you turn, you pay according to your desires and go.
The manual has never been opened for me ...

SOUNDS

Right for your style of music?

Alone, absolutely not. He has an excellent clean channel, but the problem is boosted channel .. Daub wish. That said, with a good boss pedal to the metal in clean channel, there is nothing better.

I could play with a ibanez and dean GRG170DX LH LH Vx, all with a boss pedal, I am delighted

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year now, and I feel that I will keep for quite some time to come. My favorite is when even his home is super clean channel. Just plug a pedal on it, and you can play absolutely anything you want ...

A good choice

Not bad for something we already does the above say, I would stress that it is of great power (what interested me for the price) and that for large scenes (PERS 500) he makes more than the case (for room 500 (with returns etc) I put 5-6

UTILIZATION

Very basic I do is that I appreciate the clean channel with the sound and the distortion pedal I use a daddy o (with 3-band equa) Danelectro on the same channel, or a pod when I'm home ( which allows to have a low volume as well) I admit that the channels have a distos his draft that do not like it too (they are not disgusting either!), the reverb is pretty average too, four is quite effective, however, for cons I do not feel the breath as some mentioned above (it y'en but not more than a lot of amp I think)

SOUNDS

I play post rock, my guitar is a guild of 79 nd 60 with Di Marzio of the era and I like her very sharp and acute dsagreable it without being moved (the four 3 thank you bands of the Danelectro), after the high mids are smooth I find, For the price I think we have a very powerful amp and clear sound that holds the road well, as we play a lot I notice also that is very strong and the weight is reasonable, being neither a fan of blues scales and his hot guitar (I prefer the sounds of groups like A Certain Ratio, Joy Division, Cure and Gang of Four) this amp suits me well even though I think inverstir a roland jazz chorus one of these four

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most, the sound power and robustness, the weight is reasonable I also find the ratio quality price is excellent I find

100 Watt transistor
2 Hp
2 inputs (guitar active or passive)
Between 1 Footswitch (supplied fotswitch (and fortunately seen as the wiring ... find another one or make one ....)
Effects loop (preamp out with emu and HP Poweramp in) (not knob SETTING niveua loop and a cable cut in Poweramp in the preamp)

A few omissions but already it's not bad (the HP emulation is good enough to attack a table between a demo mix for drinking)

Adjustable
Clair: Bass Mid Treble
Satu: Volume Treble Mid Bass Drive switch "more drive" taken over by the fooswitch and switch "mid contour" digging mediums. reverb and a common

We'll have a master volume .... AIM

UTILIZATION

The settings are simple and effective enough that unless the volumes are quite sensitive
It comes pretty easy to find what you're looking in the field of use of the amp

SOUNDS

While it is recognized well clear sound slamming, we like it or not and lowering acute and mid erase it reach a little "plop" when you attack the strings well
I like the saturation property (so if you want to break into the mix without pushing the volume, not to the mid contour is very effective) which is a shame is that the switch "more drive" causes a lot of breath.
It's nice for rhythm, you just go to the same heavy metal with no problem.
One recognizes the change of micro and Tone knob on the guitar that allows for nuances without touching the amp.
Which is a shame is that the amp is fairly straight and sending the well in front of him, just to hear DIFFER lower volume.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 6 months I play it.
What I like: a price / power unbeatable
Saturation of fun and not as messy one might think.
My advice if you have a limited budget and you avezbesoin power take leave to use an external preamp. I recently made the choice of a boss gt 10 amp direct puissance.Je takes the saturation of the preamp thanks to the effects loop for the rhythm of the boss saturated and that makes it really well.
(Of course it is not a tube amp and I think it's one default)
because the fan was not very clear sound I let the boss lle create his own and he also serves as master volumle.

Edit 27/07/11:
Over time I finished up not really use it. A further deception is that the amp may well have a 2x12 .... it's mono.


Since there is no longer guaranteed, I think make the change of the century: I put the cot portion amp and I stick a stereo power amp instead. (And if by chance I did not ca .... I resell for any resinstaller and the beast)

The Fender Frontman 212 R is a guitar combo amplifier on the low end of the spectrum for Fender amps. In fact, it's one of the cheapest 2 x 12 combo amps that you'll find. This is a solid state amplifier, putting out 100 watts into 4 ohms. It has two 1/4" inputs and other 1/4" connections for a foot switch (which I think is included), and preamp out and power input.

UTILIZATION

The Fender Frontman 212 R has two channels and includes built in distortion and reverb. The first channel is simple, with only knobs for volume, treble, mid, and bass, while the second channel has the same plus a drive parameter. It also has a channel select button (also controllable with the foot switch), a 'more drive' feature, and a mid contour button as well. Lastly, on the far right there's a reverb knob. I've never seen a manual for the Fender Frontman 212 R.

SOUNDS

The sound of the Fender Frontman 212 R is pretty average overall. The clean sound is okay, although very solid state sounding and not warm like tube amp. It will definitely get the job done for practicing and gigging for beginners. However, the distortion on here is pretty much unusable and it's super tinny. The reverb is nice to have but again isn't the best of it's kind. It sounds okay for the price, but will never stand up to most other Fender amplifiers.

OVERALL OPINION

The Fender Frontman 212 R is a good amp for those who are just starting to play guitar but want a semi-decent amp without spending too much. I'd still probably recommend going with something smaller if you're just starting out, but if you insist that you need a bigger amp for gigging and still can't pay more than a few hundred bucks, the Frontman 212 R should suit you. If you're looking for an amp built to last, this isn't it, but it is super cheap and worth checking out for those looking for their first 2x12 amp.
