All user reviews for the Fender FM 15R

It is simply normal, easy to use, rverbe is a lil more simpa for discovering the world of amp, and sounds that can Zolie out.

UTILIZATION

"Use" ... It is a 15 watts, so I think or do bercy With the Stade de France, I do not know yet. Not srieu, not even think to play multiplayer with, or at worst two grates on 15 watts. It's just cool our place in an apartment. But btement c too hard, my neighbors are a arive want to pay me a headphone. A headphone to play grattte, beuuuuurck ...

SOUNDS

THE clean sound is simpa, Fender (?), But the distortion is really rotten, ke can be because I'm used to mieu. In truth it basic but if not push the volume, the gain does not ressoort, so it means.

OVERALL OPINION

Personally, I think quite a while have a lil amp, there are marks that will save you money. Type the amp m # # DRIVE style. Ok it's not splitting criterion, it was not a sticker, but it's expensive Monis 2 times for a rsultat almost identical. When looking for a real good sound, it is not seeking a 15 watts.

PS: For the record, I add 50 (so 200) and I had a Marshall VS100. On OCCAZ, but 100 or watt. It plays dja several in the same court.

PS: the rating is compared to another 15W (report Qualit notament price)

Hello,
The amp Fender Frontman 15R is a small 15 watt combo with 2 channels that are 3 rglages usual bass, mid, treble, common to the two channels,
A hp 8 ", a rverbe, between an instrument and headphones and a line input (for CD and Plays)
For features, it is the easiest! However aa and its importance in some cases, no external output hp.

UTILIZATION

Operation is very simple components (external) quality of an honorable amp This category and legible until the same dbutant.Le manual is clear for those who know s 'wait: Joined in English, it will not allow everyone to be aware of all its potential and therefore SPECIFICATIONS before (and during) the use of the amp as attendu.Une also marks r pute as Fender (like other for that matter) should at least take care of fervent customers, at least on this point. Except for a confirm what work that seeks to evolve and in his passion: in the second amplifier home, no worries.

SOUNDS

Just like the Fender, so do not expect the AC / DC or Metallica: It's somewhere in the same IDE Fender: Essay with ES345, a clear sound without burrs (same high volume), a good crunch sound of Fender (for 15 watts) and distortion just regret the price a little above what one would expect from p an amp of this price.
But to have little exprience test other brand amp with a Fender Deluxe Stratocaster player (another world I assure you) I repeated the test with this on the amp and dernire in distortion, it gives Fender: that is saturated sound okay but not of course expect msa Marshall.Conclusion or, if you have a guitar with single coils and you generally look for an amp trs good quality to play pop rock, blues, funk it may see fit the bill. against the other for the megadeth, slash, smashin pumpkins .. Another example of this style or go your way
Clean sounds: 9
Sounds crunch: 7
Distorted sounds: 4 (double coil)
7 (single coils)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years as deuxime (third) amplifier home to avoid neighbors sleep lightweight and I think it is excellent clear sound, crunches correctly with a kind of tic does not use the lead with the majority of my instruments more prdilection.De APRS use of a hot rod deluxe, a FM 212R, a Rocpro1000, to name a brand of MODELS equivalent, I notice a majority of some label is missing in the pure saturated from the brand.
On this I agree that all of the same for this amp CATEGORY certain, the quality of manufacturing is still the same appointment, the same as the price is certainly reputable and has the manufacture of the brand. I do not regret this amp mostly in the sense that it takes for every taste and if everything was perfect amp versatility equivalent level, there would be more choices for everyone

Small transistor amp ...
15 watt
Hi, Mid, Low (not Convince trs. Means not always the diference between 4 and 8)
Two channels: one clean and one distortion
a spring reverb rather a shit ... but can dpanner

UTILIZATION

This is my first amp and I think that was a very good choice ... the clean is pretty good but the distortion is zero (I buy a mt-2 but even his evil spell ...)

To set the clean is rather easy to find her ...
For the distortion that is another matter ...

The manual ... Fender and bin it. He explains during a koi page is the white button (to select the channel )....

SOUNDS

A lot of clean ... Disto and bin ... not Convince
I use a Godin LG HMB (pt for its clean sound that is good ...)

OVERALL OPINION

His eight months that I'm using it ...
I did not try another model before because I'm not trs experimenter ... (Now its doing prcisement a year since I played ...) If I could have chosen something else I would have chosen a crate gx-15 or a 10 watt marshall ...

Small 15w amp transistors - a jack - clean channel and drive channel + reverb.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use: no need for manual - The sound of the Fender clean looks.

SOUNDS

Well suited my style of music (Rock / Pop). I use the house with a room-cho Pr Vox.
The channel returns a bad drive to the m. .. It is good for playing music in m. .. (My era, when distortionnait amp, we flanked the trash. But I confess that for beginners the distortion can hide the wrong notes).

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for 2 years without problem. I wanted to find the sound of my Fender Vibrolux Fender in 1962 that I do not get with my VOX Valvetronic.
- I like its clean sound trs correct for such a small amp.
- I bought used on Ebay for 70: So, good value qualitprix. At this price the Rasht I certainly.

Transistor
15W (...)
between an instrument, a cinch between stro discman for example (not convincing trs)
reverb

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use, clear sound is clean for the price but the settings (qual and gain) are really zero

SOUNDS

I used to amp troubleshooting for RPTS with acoustic guitars and electric.
after one year HP has done is put in serious BgrrrbGGrrr ..
and one year APRS transistors DEFINITIONS died ... nothing ... a sort of hum / biiip.

OVERALL OPINION

110 euros it hard even to two years, it's not cheap but there's really trs much better at least in the harsh, I do not recommend it to anyone.

Bna ba as is already saying is a 15W transistor amp
a two-channel a clear saturation.
no equalizer on the channel clear
sinan Reverte treble middle bass and reverb

UTILIZATION

I like the sound I find it very clear very satisfesant. the saturation is not a bit shit (but not c the purpose of a fender) I use a personal BC-Rich top and distortion is not so bad ke that! c certe not the best but it'll c much playable.

it's been 4 years that I have, but I use it for a year vraimant with matter but I never had anything to complain about is a good amp for a beginner who wants to not put too much and who seeks a little more musicalement.DE is easily transportable and disign is not bad after I find true c ke c util really the disign of an amp but ...

SOUNDS

As I say I play with a BC-RICH (I'm following elsewhere in search of another receiver but I am not in a hurry because this amp is enough for me to play with me at the moment.

Personal I have a ZOOM 606 effects pedal in, it goes not in hyper nikel's clear there is a jungle of sound when you go up and it becomes the sound of anything. I therefore spent my pedal distortion in the channel with a gain and then it becomes very nikel with a punch from hell! (Certe must remember that it is a 15W transistor), but say there are ways to get along with pretty good sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I am satisfied with my colègues the contrary, I would do it not because I want to choose an amp managed metal now (and yes I would like BC RICH well be given a background) but it satisfies me greatly and I followed her into a lot of traveling.
RAPORT money I think it's resonable c after all his opinion and his style is a matter of taste it is geared to train in that is played with friends (because then I advice to take a larger whole well)

No need to detail the characteristics discussed many times previously.

UTILIZATION

Nothing is easier, the volume knobs, tone, drive, clean, reverb, ..

Its clear
Good clear sound is the highlight of this amp is the trademark of Fender.

Drive sound:
This amp has a drive should not grow beyond 3 in which case you end up with a sound honeycomb therefore particularly unpleasant to listen. When I play saturated the drive is set between 1 and 2 any more.

SOUNDS

I play with a Fender Stratocaster and a Cort CRS2800 (config HSS), the sounds come out pretty well clear, crystalline, with snapping or by setting the tone knobs, one arrives at all (blues, jazz, rock.). The sound will fluctuate depending on the guitar that you will!

Nothing to say about the clean sounds, for against, the distorted sounds are to be avoided, if you do the blues, pop, jazz, this amp is very good (for clean sounds) but if you have a core of hard-rocker metalhead , do not buy this amp, you will be frustrated.

I love this amp for home use, and avoids the neighbors to enter the long sessions of the neighbor guitarist

You plug a CD player, MP3, and ex you practice without shaking the walls, it is very much his office for that! Amp for all in training at home.

The rating corresponds to a quality / price / power

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2-3 years now and regularly to practice my standards on the blues, jazz, rock. Clear sound very respectable. The Drive is OK if you do not exceed Level 3.
I tried this model in its class, and I recommend before you buy to try several brands, I had no opportunity at the time, and I bought on a whim.
Quality / price ratio good enough for a 15 W transistor.
Honestly, if I had the choice to test other, I would perhaps not take this model, I decided on a Peavey or Marshall or Line 6 15W. Originally, I was looking for a low power amp to train at home because I have a Peavey Classic 30, but in an apartment, this amp is a powerhouse. So I was looking for a little amp and I came across this Fender Frontman 15R and reverb, who spoke for 2-3 years and I intend to sell to finance another material.

Weight: 6.80 kg

UTILIZATION

Use could not be more simple. You turn the buttons and voila.

SOUNDS

I play metal (death metal hardcore see) so at the disto is not over that! (I buy an all-tube amp so maintenent all goes well) I play with a BC Rich NJ Flying JR.V very soon and I plan a distortion pedal (über metal).

The clean is not too bad in a little Triffouille may well find a good sound that we like.

This was my first amp, a friend had advised me and I'm doing to listen, this amp is nickel to get started. (Sorry do not express the little rhymes ^ ^ XD)

OVERALL OPINION

It'll soon be 1 that I use it but it give way to a more powerful amp recently (Peavey VK 212).

Price / quality ratio I think it's worth € 90 (Thomann), I strongly advise to young beginners who plays alone in their room.

If I could take something else I probably took a Line6 spider2 15W.

Well I think it's better not to dwell on such details that have been raised many times ..
I put 6 on a question of price / quality ratio.

UTILIZATION

In terms of configuration, there is nothing simpler. There are not hundreds of buttons are thus necessarily use is fairly intuitive. I speak of sound in the part reserved for sounds (normal what ..).
If not in the manual, memory, I think it is not too thick (like 3 or 4 pages per language at most), I too had the courage to read it since I had no problem settings or anything.

SOUNDS

I play blues, funk, rock, and a little bit of shred (something that serves no purpose except to make the demonstration and play technology for technology ..).
My guitars: Telecaster Standard Stratocaster deluxe player, LTD EC-1000.
Well I play for a little over 4 years and I bought this amp when I started, I had not even tried, I just had an amp to play.

In clean: Start with the sound is good but not great, it looks so round (whether in the neck position and bridge) that sometimes I feel like I'm off on the low tone. Otherwise in jazz, but I have not really tried it seems to me that if that's what you're looking to do not even think about this amp

With the drive of the amp: always stratum must not exceed a certain threshold, otherwise the sound becomes rotten that we have the humbuckers or not. Even if you push the gain to 10, there will be in sound (not hum) a good overdrive, but it will not sustain what is rather a pity.
Personally, I do not use the drive of this amp, I have a multi-purpose boss ME-50 which is in my opinion much more effectively than the gain of 15R or blues overdrive cranked.
As a matter of too big round, I put 4

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years.
Asset:
- A fender amp for use at home even if it does not show in my opinion its the real fender
- The price. This is one of the only products fender or you do not pay the mark (in fact, at this price is a bit difficult).

Disadvantage:
- The sound is no longer appropriate when one takes a little experience, but remains good for beginners

With budget in the 100th, I would recommend a marshall.

Namely, this amp is an amp to start, so in itself it does not need to have a great config, perfect sound, and drive a foolproof and no buzz.

I would not have to redo this choice, but hey if I were advising someone I would say first to go and see in others and finally for the Fender amp for beginners

Specifications:
- Guitar Amp 15 W
- Reverb (15R only)
- 8-inch speaker, 2 channels
- Output to external speaker, headphone
- Dual Selectable Channels (Normal and Drive), 3-band EQ, master volume, gain, and reverb drive (model 15R only)
- Weight: 6.8 kg.
- Size: 314 (H) x 337 (L) x 181 (D) mm.

For a small amp, it has everything you need.

UTILIZATION

Auncune trouble!

SOUNDS

Its clean: While slamming the high notes, for I think it lacks a bit of roundness in the bass ... it comes from my scratch can be too.
The reverb is work done in clean it going very well.

His Disto: it means that the transistor ... but hey, it goes not too bad.

I would say that for a 15W, the pti 'carbide lot. To play in an apartment or a house or even a garage, frankly it rarely exceeds 4 in volume.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost 3 years.
My favorite is his size / power ratio.
I tested the amp much more powerful, nothing comparable.
The value for money is excellent.
Yes I would do surment this choice and I recommend it to scratch seeking pti amp for home (or even for small groups that are not too Bourin in small premises)

See other reviews.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, manual useless ... I do not even remember the content of this one!
As for getting a good sound ... : D

There are not too many knobs, it's more because it does not gas plant, especially for beginners. The fact that affects his fiddle, but hey it's not super obvious.

SOUNDS

I bought it along with my first scratch, because a friend had the same.
When you start, it sounds terrible, it is quite happy
It has clear sound, a sound saturated ...
The range of his other hand, is frankly limited ... The clean sound can pass but the distortion is quite honeycomb! But then when you start, who cares ...
Let's say that after a few months of use and testing other amps, it becomes clear that there is better elsewhere for not much more expensive!

OVERALL OPINION

I used it a year, I sold to "be" for another amp (a Hughes & Kettner ATTAX 50 I've always actually). I had been quite expensive, since corner shop ... And then when you start so you are not aware of the price: (
He agreed most of the year where I got it, but it is true that after a while you realize that the sound is very cheap: D should therefore change the beast.
However, it can begin to Scratch a little without breaking the bank ... For a hundred euro nine, I do not know if there are mid-range amps.
Now we add the 50th and there are ways to have interesting things, kind of a small lamp 5w amp (without distortion, but a pedal hop Behringer below and get started 30th). So there are ways to 150/200e frankly have better. After all depends on how that was!

With the experience I would do not have that choice, I'd probably the solution I have outlined. But so far, I think it's a good choice for someone who wants to learn the guitar and did not have much money!

Fender Frontman Reverb Amp Combo

15 watt transistors
trs simple to use
lightweight (less than 5 pounds) and easy transporting and pout trs solid.
2 channels: 1 clean (clean sound) and overdrive (saturation)
1 + 3 band equalizer (bass / mid / treble) common to both channels
+ 1 reverb effect (spring)
+ 2 outputs: headphones and external speaker (8 ohm min.)

UTILIZATION

Perfect for rptition and / or learning at home.
for beginners, it's a good machine with an excellent qualitprix.

It gave me this amp at the very beginning when I started learning guitar and I must say this is an excellent tool for learning and repetition, and really cheap for its quality. (Yeah I RPET)
on the other hand, this amp does not play in groups with 15 watts is just enough to agree to a drummer cot (cot and a bass player, impossible).
However it is possible to use it as a return to small concerts.
This amp on the clean channel has a very neutral sound and it's a great asset in my opinion.
For example I traffics my guitars from time to time and allows me to really listen to the raw sound of the instrument, and evaluate and assess the quality of assembly configurations (microphones, circuits, cords, etc. ...).
And I'm also used to record my guitar parts on an album. with a good distortion pedals, the clean channel with its own trs trs and neutral, and with my SM57 mic in front of the speaker, I got a good sound trs.

SOUNDS

The clean channel has a good sound quality and trs neutral and cold compared to a light amplifier.
With the gain saturation through three quarters and a good SETTING THE equalizer, it is possible to obtain a saturation very powerful, but honestly to play metal that is not at all suited.
Beware if it is not a true branch taken from the earth, it blows a lot.
If you use the reverb, may be interesting to gently shake the amp before, has done better since the spring oscillate.

OVERALL OPINION

So even if its use is limited by its power, ease of transport makes it useful in some situations trs.

This amp is a cut above the cheap amps that you see who the manufacturer seems to have the name is some weird print where you can't make out who it actually is. This is basically the same tone as you would get out of that type of amp. Sure it says Fender on the outside but is it really a Fender? I personally. woulnd't want to put my name on the outside of this amp

This amp by no means is meant for going outside of the house. You tuck this thing away and never let anyone hear it or see it. It is designed to be a practice amp, but the tone from it is really horrible. I am don't care to listen to it at all because the tone is just lousy. The clean of course sounds good. If Fender the kings of clean tone didn't make it sound good on the clean then thy would have a big problem.

SOUNDS

Not a hard amp to get used to. It doesn't have that many control knobs to get in the way. The thing has two channels and in my opinion it should have some amp modeling or something else to go along with this thing. To me the clean are fantastic but the dirty channel is really thin brittle and everything a solid state amp sounds like. It has no character or soul in the tone and you ave to fight the thing to make a decent sound out of it.

Doesn't really matter what guitar you use with it because it is a big disappointment. For the cleans they accept a Fender Strat or Tele best. For the dirty channel any less than a humbucker style guitar will just sound like trash.

OVERALL OPINION

Though the price is very low the sound from this thing just doesn't make you want to play the guitar for hours. And that is the biggest factor in buying and amp. Does it make you want to get better as a player....the answer for this amp is simply...no. I don't want to hear this thing and I don't want to look at it. It is harsh and brittle to say the least.

Fender has now discontinued these amps so the used market is the only way to go at this point. I have seen these amps well under $99 around the classifieds and evilbay. So you definitely don't have to spend a lot of money to get this little practice amp. I do not recommend this amp to anyone. If you want something that sounds good good with the Peavey Viper or the Roland Cube.
