All user reviews for the Fender FM 25R

25W transistor amp two channels: clear with adjustable volume, saturated with gain and volume bass middle treble EQ more general and a reverb
footswitch input, headphone, external speaker 8ohm

UTILIZATION

Easy transition from one channel to another via footswitch or a switch located on the front panel.
At the equalizer settings and can not be simpler ...

SOUNDS

Oriented rather clear sound (that's fender ...) with great presence of acute (ouch ouch ears) but good enough to properly handle! Effective saturation of the transistor but it's still ...
The sound is still very accurate

OVERALL OPINION

A good little amp to play at home without taking the head and carry around for when on vacation for a price of around € 150 so a good quality / price ratio
Note: the amp is much more powerful than it appears at two sound is already loud!

Amplifier transistors.
Power 25W - HP 10-inch - 2 channels.
Footswitch optional (shame).
Rglages volume, gain, treble, rverb, middle and bass.

UTILIZATION

It could not be simpler.
It's easy and quick to rev quickly find the right sound.
I did not need to look at the manual.

SOUNDS

It fit perfectly my style of music (pagan / black metal).
I play a BC Rich NJ Ironbird and sound is truly amazing for such a small amp.
I play a lot in trs saturated gain and so effective that the purchase of a zone-metal pedals and unnecessary. Clean and sound as good, although too aige.
All the sounds of this amp sound good, there is no criticism to make.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using ending for two years.
It is a perfect amp, with good sound, I even used by dj repeated despite its 25W.
I tried a 25W marshall but I quickly made my choice.
240 is a bit expensive, but I do not regret having set the price.
I do it again although this choice sr!

A transistor amplifier with a 25W HP 10 inches, without effects loop and line out without just a headphone jack and line input.
It has two channels two channels, an equalizer, and a spring reverb.

UTILIZATION

One branch is played is simple and funcky.
Suel the default for the volume control too sensitive, as on many Fender.

SOUNDS

I play a style of music rather varied, blues rock, funky hard rock.
I connect over a cort viva and a copy strato.
This gives a clear fender typical for heavy distortion good for rock and blues, it's hard but not enough to just plug an effects pedal and it runs.
None of sounds possible with this amp is useless, it does.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 3 years, I was looking for an amp to play apart. I have tried just about everything that existed, Marshall, Vox, Kustom, Peavey, Roland, Hugh and Kettner ...
I found at the time that all fitted with HP 15W 8 inches had a nasal sound. The 25W sounded downright better. The Roland was not bad, but I hesitate especially with Hugh and Kettner which was really good too. But the H & K was still prohibitively expensive for my taste.
The other was really means.
Level value, it's complicated because you have to admit that 220 euros was expensive at the time. But good for more expensive it also offered more .... So finally I find the value for money is excellent as 3 years later I still enjoy playing it.
This is a really great amp I advice all that it means and looking for a little amp but quality.

Edit: Recently I used it much any more, and then after watching a youtube video of a guy who had a sawed into frontman15 for amp head, I decided to add on my amp, output HP external, if you're a drunk handyman, and you have 12''HP quality lurking in your home in cabs or other combos, have fun hack vauxt the shots. The electronics of this amp is up to the 20 minutes of tinkering required.

Everything is perfectly described below

UTILIZATION

We can not do everything is simpler instinctive.
It takes a little fiddling equalization because the highs are very present on this amp, but it 's out there with no problem.
Manual useless.

SOUNDS

I play all styles except the extreme hardcore metal trash and it suits me perfectly.

I use it with a pacifica 120sj entry and therefore it was something to have fun.

In clean, the sound in the neck position is warm and round well for blues, in easel that is more crystalline and with the delay gives beautiful sound.

In distortion that is not transcendent but with a big muff it sounds mieux.On can immediately embark on the big rock with no problem.

I play in my room clean and I did not grow to more than 5 and distortion gain and volume to 7 to 3.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months and this is my first amp, it is ideal to play at home.
This a good amp to get the ear and débuter.Le price / quality ratio is good,
if I had the guitar again I would do this choice.

See Opinions of the gray model: transistor 25 W

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple ...
The sound is produced quickly.
After that, good or bad ...
This is a good amp in its class.
No need to book.

SOUNDS

Used for a long time with a Jackson PS1 to start.
I just went around the sound, it is convenient for the flat, solid.
The clean is not bad, the saturation can have a little fun.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought 12 years ago ... !
It was my first baby.
It is solid and reliable.
A good quality / price ratio.
He has a little trouble with the electrical systems that are not perfect (Ploce, and quite often a buzz, a little painful.)
If I had the guitar again in our time, I would make a choice, type of amp simulators computer music (line 6, whether or TonePort line pod). For the price, if you want to just start guitar, a small pod XT is more manageable, less bulky ... (Or if Gx is short of capital.)
But if you want to work in groups and we started, it helps out a lot.

Fender has been building these inexpensive practice amps and they have really taken off. These amps though very inexpensive and not built very well have a huge market for many beginner guitarists or musicians that need a simple amp for practice usage.

These amps doesn't sound very good and not really intended to be killer tone machines either. They are designed to be practice units and silent players. If you need a cheap amp for silent playing and want a Fender tone then this is the way to go. This is not interned to be a gigging amp.

SOUNDS

There is no sound difference in this amp than the black version. You just get a nice red tolex job rather than the standard black tolex covering. I prefer the look of the black personally.

It doesn't have that many control knobs to get in the way so it is not a hard amp to get used to 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.

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. Doesn't really matter what guitar you use with it because it is a big disappointment.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not recommend this amp to anyone. If you want something that sounds good good with the Peavey Viper or the Roland Cube. At new these units come in at around $99. Even 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. If only used as a practice unit for silent purposes then it does the trick.

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.
