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

Amp with transistor 2HP 12 "

Power: 120w
Effect: 1 clean channel / 1 channel with the drive accentuable switch "more drive" and "mid contour" 1 + spring reverb
Connectors: 1 footswitch jack (included in the amp), 1 PRE OUT and PWR IN to the effects loop

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple (EQ: bass / middle / treble)
Each channel has its own settings.

Nothing complicated in this. You connect, you play

SOUNDS

The sound is pretty good.

I for one appreciate the clean channel on this amp. I play it with an Epiphone Studio lespauls pretty old and this amp can give a little more clarity to micro tired of this guitar.

I also play on this amp with a Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Custom freshly reworked by a luthier (mechanical, bridge, bridges, settings), and it is sending, that twang ... (I'm waiting to test it on a lamp. End of parenthesis)

Level sound clean sound is good. nothing transcendent good but it's clean and it shines.

In its saturated level where we will have to listen for yourself either you love or you like it.

Many people will tell you that the crunch is deguelasse or otherwise. For my part I play with this amp punk, so it pushes the very bottom and before. I used to play with effects pedals distortion, I came back to the amp.

What you should remember is that this is a crunch unpretentious, but it is always helpful. just know the deal. It's like always.

the footswitch toggles clean / crunch and another switch toggles drive and more drive mode.

against the mid contour is not manageable from the footswitch. This is stupid ...

Volume level, it should not worry about not being heard. I put 2 in repeats rarely more than 3 concert.

I've never tried to push it above 5.

The reverb is really limit against ... (after we like it or not like)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it regularly (weekly rehearsals & concerts) for 3 4 years now.

he never wavered, it works fine except the small low cost jack provided for the footswitch but it is the result of poor human manipulation ... We will not blame him too ...

overall I'm pretty happy. a 250 amp bullets that you can drag around, it's solid (a bit heavy), it sounds and it is stable so it's a very good point.

I not repeat the purchase because I now have a larger budget that will allow me to turn on my head lamp and an orange cab.

To start or

100 watt transistor amp! To say it sends heavy I usually play between 1 and 2 of 10 apartment refrain. The clean is very typical fender. The crunch and overdrive properly adjusted can be very interesting.

UTILIZATION

Fairly simple config: clean channel or channel crunch / overdrive (drive and more drive) Peculiarity of knob equalizer bass, treble, mid act on the volume...

SOUNDS

I play this amp with a fender telecaster and I must say that it does. This amp is ideal for group play. I board recently changed hp hp two Celestion, a G8 and G10 and I think the sound is better balanced.

OVERALL OPINION

I also have a VOX AC30 and Fender does not demerit power level. I have 4 years and did not think to part immediately. It is a good amp to repeat, and less fragile to carry a tube amp. Very good value for money.

No need to linger!

UTILIZATION

I use it to 2.3 gigs to plug guitar, theremin and samples. The HP quickly slammed, but hey when you see the "dirt", we understand very quickly why.

SOUNDS

To be clear, boosted channel of this amp is unusable, with respect to the clean channel, before modification, it was not too bad, a little "tight" but relatively correct, power is nice. For reverb, I have big doubts about the sticker "Accutronics" glued to the tank, given the poor performance to say the least of it. I replaced it with a tank Accutronics type 8 (nine 30 euros) that I had an old amp and the sound is open, is much more musical reverb becomes usable even with the knob in the red . I mainly play in the surf, of course, this does not apply a reverb tube, but it is more than correct, I think with a reverb type 4, it should be close even more of the twin. Since HP did not take long, I found two celestion G12 rockdriver (from a Hughes and Kettner cab) of OCCAZ for 50 euros. And there is even better, the sound opens up even more, growing in low, rounded, accuracy. The spread is very good, certainly the weight of the amp has increased, but it's worth it.

OVERALL OPINION

So for 80 euros, here are some very simple changes to be made and that changed the life of this amp, I bought OCCAZ for 100 euros and 200 euros for less, I have an amp that sounds and deserves to linger. He serves as backup amp, but further shows with my bassman and my deluxe reverb. We'll see if he shows himself reliable in the long run, but if you have one and you are disappointed with its performance, try the experiment, it's worth it.

100W, transistors
2 inputs, 2 channels with a boost
Effects loop
Reverb

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple configuration, and more I am using as bowls and the power part, by plugging a small TRIAC very nice in the correct input (power amp: o)

Other than that, to use during the clean sound of origin is already pretty cool, channel 2, cons .. it blows fast! and EQ are not very effective. As for the reverb, better not put too much.

In short ... this amp is perfect, as I said, but for my use.

Manuel? What manual

SOUNDS

I plug in my 2 / 3 major electric guitars: Ibanez SG, Musicman Luke II, Vigier Excalibur Special

For the rest, see above.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years, I drool just like everyone else on the big amp that kills death (I had a Peavey JSX head, but too much psychosis at concerts: transport, power failures, monitor lamps / maintenance, etc etc etc ...) but in the end I got a little config simple and bulletproof.

The worst statement I do? is that 99% of people in the audience do not know the difference ..

Ratio Q / P unbeatable! LOL

I do it again this election, yes, if it ever were to happen qque thing this amp? but .. what can happen to him ..

2 * 50 W transistor, 2 channels + 1 more drive, an EQ on each channel, except for that drive more dpend 2nd channel.
A footswitch, 1in, 1 and 2 out of (low and hight) for guitar.
reverb.
... heavy, but hey, the 2HP make good 22 pounds I think.

UTILIZATION

It pete burns 2 * 50, the sauce is as plain Submitted saturation, settings not terrible, it lacks finesse, the reverb is .. blah, even if it's not what motivates the purchase.
Not require the manual installation trs very simple ...

SOUNDS

Personally, I play a lot of blues / rock, and I am looking for a rather crunchy, a little dirty, with nice curves ... Yeah ca explained too .... Finally, in terms of clean sounds ca slap well, it sounds pretty cool but in fact it feels like too much treble prsence, and to find the rglages right for me to get there hair prs.
The saturation is worthy of a good amp transistor trs, it is far from the lights, but it's good when even trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I possde the amp for 1 month, repeating the moment, and I must admit that I discover over time, the settings are for a hardus well itself, there are too many acute in clean sounds, and something that m'nerve a little, the more drive channel ... that makes much saturated fat and slobbery; limit dripping ... I prefer a third personal channel.

For the price, it is a matter to enter, € 350 in store, 2 * 50 in fender, there is nothing to say is a good big transistor amp, which sounds very solid and strong, trs fort! ! I gave up the search for his last on this amp, for cons with my effects pedals is pure bomb!
ca will be fine until the rivera of my dreams

Transistor amp, 100 watts, 2 inputs (high gain, low gain) between footswitch input and output effects loop or auxiliary Sonon (speakers) ... CHANNELS: clean, overdrive (distortion type 70's), more drive (distortion a little fat) and a button "mid contour" Pouru no more typical metal distortion and a reverb intgre.
2 hp 12 inch.

UTILIZATION

Trs use simple, trs rglages not many (one-gualisateur trebble, mid and bass) and three types of distortion is easily thanks to juggle footswitch supplied with the amp.

SOUNDS

The amp is very versatile, I play both the good old 70's hard PPRE or metal, the clean channel has a sound quite nice. If you want a good distortion pedals to add a fat distortion, but the channel "more drive" is already well saturated. The clumps are apparent, I use a Squier Affinity (stratode) highs are apparent, as the grave ... so a great versatility and sound "hard rock"
EDIT: I have it al a DOD death metal distortion to the buttocks ... The two big bowls of 12 and 100 watts are in the BPS I play thrash, neo and a little black, the potato is standard, precision, power and dynamic .... Now I use it with a Warlock BCRich, to think one can reduce a low in saturated if we play without pedals, the more drive channel ... I therefore maintain my rating of 10/10!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month, the three types of saturation and "mid contour" are very practical and p ermettent get a lot of noise is very simple to use ... I prfre the bandit 112.
Report quality unbeatable price, we have the quality fender for under 400 euros.
For work at home is a bit big but Talagi power is well done so we can work without interfering with the neighbors, it can be used on scne (when you turn the knob volume shows that the power is and it is very well also for group work.
I remake that choice without hsiter!

100w transistor (2 * 50) super easy to use with 3 channels, 2 inputs, footswitch, and PWR IN PRE OUT

no headphone jack!

UTILIZATION

The sound is too strong right now, really not easy to work in the evening when his girlfriend is sleeping!
a very interesting point is his conception "touch" the Fender circuit which gives the impression of perceiving a distortion of the tube.

SOUNDS

I'm a fan of blues and I play with two guitars, one electric and one acoustic electric thanks to 2 between low and high.
I love the sound slightly crunch it's super enjoyable [/ b]. by level against clear, I'm not good technically and I can not rgler between the snapping sound too low or too Submitted. I must say that not a scratching super electric (Squier)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months and the best for me is the sound that pierces you with a bit of saturation.
I tried some other model for considering the price for the fender I do not hsit.
With the experience I would do if I was the best choice, if it was greater for me and if I had a group.
In fact today I put up for sale to buy me a lil 15w portable with a headphone jack for not Dranger home. and later I would return it!

I recommend it to those who want power and do not walk

So that's a nice amp like any p'tit with a loop on the front end quite handy. it's basic but it's pretty tough (dropped twice its height without bobo ...). We all say the beast next feature I think. His first personal advantage is that it is light enough and that allows me to play repeats strong enough to be heard.

UTILIZATION

The uitlisation is super simple on the two channels and the booster. There are fast enough to make it sound any ni'mporte Chignole. no need for manual, the conection is laconic but for the price it is an honest amp.

SOUNDS

So yeah, the sound is clearly valid. The reverb is interesting enough transparent and workable. Question distortion, well no miracle for me, I think it's a saturation that has not too bad with a good scraper with double-bridge. This is obviously far from saturation even typed tubes by drawing the ear must be serious but it's okay to work or learn in the first amplifier of the world zik. In short, perhaps it is better to hear it before you buy by mail order if it is to make it his main amp.

The big minus is the noise of operation. from the midrange (I usually play 4 or 5) the breath is important and generally certain. I personally do not care because it's not my main amp but for those who want to build a config around him that it will provide him a noise gate. In fact to record is very limited. The uitlité of this amp is my limimte Pénard had to play at home without heat lamps of his favorite receiver, playing in small places without recovery or sound work again.

OVERALL OPINION

If one is aware of its limitations, this is a very good buy (€ 300 in Germany guaranteed for 5 years anyway) compared with other transistos amp that will last perhaps as long. Personal I do not have to buy the 50 kgs and trinballer + my pro reverb, I'm not very bothered by his lack of big noise in particular. For the price it sounds good, I think from the perspective of working with low volume or repeat it one of the best amp of the moment.

Dessu already said, it's simple, ffective

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple, no need for manual, gives her a quick please ...

SOUNDS

I find the clean sound really good, although I was not on jou ton filled, I find it very well transcribed the sound of the guitar is nickel ...
The distortion is ass polivalente we move from the big lg a distortion overdrive, if I had something against ca am not a grain in my own ass taste, no ass "srrquot; (which I believe teacher, but it's not bad at all to tap the ac / dc keupon ...)... but the drive has 8 + ... the more drive, bridge pickup. yucky .. mmmm good, sharp ca do it anyway trs well!

OVERALL OPINION

A good amp, simple fficase, rsistant (ho yes ...) powerful (yeah it can well before saturated crach! Encien ca change my amp ...) Heavy ass, that's ... and above all the problem! cheap and good marchUn fender 100W 300E thomann is a beautiful ca!
Just a big thank you to the enc **** factor for me was being in the stairs to 3rd ... stock a large crack and farewell the reverb (ca it meant the "ho yes" dessu to ...)
it is never something back myself up ...

Transistor 100W ABCs 2hp 12''
3 channels, clean / drive / overdrive

UTILIZATION

Ya pa easier.
But the only problem is that my g kan even put quite a while to find the sound that I had much shame and ca c

SOUNDS

Yes it will suit my style if it has lights props
the fact that it is not the distortion gives a good good rotten if you find the right setting pa adapt to his way of playing, no one understands that the song playing .. it soon becomes inodible!
But against the clear sound, c happiness !!!!!!!! els and more with the 2 hp sinusoids are much clearer and spreads sson telment mieu!

OVERALL OPINION

I am the User depui six months, and I am very happy with his clean sound, the distortion May disgusts me! c simple when your pa is the thing that ca c inaudible TElement drool, must be pa tro-intensive means nothing if not overdrive
the report by Kaliti cons are unbeatable, like an amp for the 340, which delivers 100W with 2 hp, c grandiose.
Ca deposits serious weak point in May the good disto!

A transistor amplifier 100 watts (watts good) 2 in Speakers 12 ".
play: 2 input jack on the front, making footswtch, preamp in / out.
Basic settings: independent EQ for each channel (treble - mid - bass) + 1 reverb.
Footswith provided.

My rating is 8 / 10 because it is a very simple amp, which requires only a very short time an adaptation, with adjustments effective, yet a little more: the "mid contour", which allows meet the musicians, the most hard digging mediums. No surprises.

UTILIZATION

Configuration architecture again simple: the settings are made, they act to the extent appropriate about sound is obtained very easily sound correct. Manuel succinct but not very useful: once again, it's a basic amp, even a novice can navigate. We are far from setting accuracy of modeling amps extra complexity.

SOUNDS

I play Rock Retro funk rhythms Inpiration: This amp is really good, but as long as we stay in the channel clear, with a typical sound "fender", very bright and slamming (surprise poour an amp in this range price) with well proportioned settings, one can easily find one that sounds the "lamp" _ I use a '72 Telecaster Custom, which sounds very very hot humbucker in the neck (the perfect clean). Attention for the Distortion channel (!!!) for me, it is almost unusable! no grain, no personality, or almost inéficaces settings. quite the opposite of the clean channel.
However, for the overall sound, it is good. The speakers sound, and proper construction of the box make this amp really indestructible: it is all cash. Be careful though not to over boost the bass (when I use it at home in volume 3, there the glasses in the cabinet in the kitchen trembling, and I can hear them in my room, first floor)!

8 / 10, noting however that the main strength of this amp is its beautiful clear sound (very typical Fender). No saturation, and it must be said, reverb a bit useless (to replace), because really disgusting above 5 / 10 (effect "together in the catacombs").

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months now and I'm really happy (again, only for his clear). Paid € 290 new, it's really a good product, very solid, and puisssant. I would definitely do it again this choice because the value for money is exceptional.

PS: Being very disappointed with the overdrive channel I bought a tube overdrive (Electro Harmonix), a "Muff'N Français), which sounds lovely. Thus, we exploit the sound quality clear, and we get a really fabulous, still warmed by the lamps, and very clean.

8 / 10, mainly for quality / price ratio very good, and also features (effects loop, etc. ...). With an adapted overdrive Separated (tube is better), it really is up! Another good point here with an ease of customization of its really Impeks.

Special Mention for its clear very nice for the price.

UTILIZATION

Bought used but nine actually very good disign with all the knobs on the front for an optimal control its nothing to say on this is in addition to visualizing the settings especially well on stage that can reach any settings if necessary and it is essential when playing on stage as the guitar connected.

SOUNDS

His point of view I was amazed I had the try one of his ancestors if we can say and the fender Blues Deluxe and the Beast brief attention to veiled j'étaiqs about to buy near me has spent € 700 this amp is 50 W lamps tell you all the beast when I amplidans essa this a store or place was not (indeed I even bought a CD the same day Mr Popa Chubby n'on which most had no place in short I digress) and I cry a 2 on the volume knob a slamming his own bluesy and a desire and a saturation drive in 3 and 2 volume with the same setting for medium and severe acute that the channel clear and instantly at the foot thanks to the footswitch that came with my taste and needed a receiver who has any respect I cry a crunch sound with a slightly rounded for precise and clear sound has a popa chubby santana MIX enfrin a brief try, and when I went on a solo by pressing the 2nd "drive" the I am saying is that I need him the most I think fender with two "saturated channel".
Tries and I realized with a Start made in United States
When I got home I try with my guitar with an epiphone les paul standard color type "gary moore" and I'm still not disappointed for a guy who used the tube amp I'm speechless really a try for those spineless bluesy rock sound that's cool.

OVERALL OPINION

I regret the epoch of the tube preamp because the sound might be more round and warm with a lamp in a preamp see (for this type of amp transistor)
Before this amp I started with 80 home attax Hugger and Kettner and I unfortunately not hang more than that then I had the fender performer 1000 that really good then peavey classic 30 and nothing to say then The Hot Rod Deluxe Fender and it is a poorly understood qe I sold it and then saw that I had no amp I picked up the FM 212R and I think the sound is cleaner? I do not know what to think, who saw me as I am by lamps even less "enlightened" when one has so QLQ explanation I take.
If not in the choice I would do without thinking in addition to the price € 330 almost new if not me who was nearly nine has put € 700 into an amp with a little luck I'll be able to take a new non scratched cool ?

It's a transistor amp 100 watt, 2 hp 12 ", the effects loop ...
That's what Fender basic but with a very respectable power
Two equalizers (which are not much unfortunately) c but not bad, the settings are more varied with an equalizer common to both channels ...

UTILIZATION

Setup is super simple not need the manual that is in any case clear
So we get a decent one fairly easily (it's not obviously the lights eh ...)

SOUNDS

So this amp suited my style of music (blues, blues / rock, hard rock and jazz)
I used an Ibanez with his customized 260 fm in seymour and Di Marzio and with a Fender deluxe us and with the two guitars it sounded properly
I only use the clean channel because the channel "full" is not really usable unless you play the grunge / punk / thrash ... : D

OVERALL OPINION

I used this amp for 2 years to buy a Hot Rod Deluxe, there really is a big difference in sound ... I think the hot rod is a marvel.
I tried a lot of models in this price range with a Marshall mg 100 dfx but it was not a clean sound that matches my needs ... shame
The value for money is quite satisfactory, because it is an amp with which one can play in medium size rooms when you are not picked up by a console ...
With the experience ... not I would wait to have more dosh to pay me a lamp ...

100W transistor amp for between two and a guitar for the footswitch ... its clear, saturated with two types of distortion (normal and boost rglages for bass and treble and a mdium rverbe

UTILIZATION

The setup is really simple dc trs to get the sound kon wants is too much problem on hand ba ... there is not a great thing! I have never ever had eyes and g dproblmes dc ksi useless! the amp is really easy to take control

SOUNDS

It is well suited to my style of musik and I have a jackson performer PS2.j 'gets its quite heavy (it jackson) I love the sound of marshall they are really good ... but these amps fender is not bad

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for 3 years and I find it well c on the lamp for a transistor but it's pretty bien.je have no ur MODELS essay I had just started scratching kan I eut.mon musik teacher advised me and I do not regret it allows me to make rpeter of "concert" dc report quality price is really good and that is what makes strength I remake this choice without hsitation!

100 watts transistor amplifier, effects loop, 2 channels (1 clean + 1overdrive with a boost), an EQ per channel, a setting of "contour" on the channel to Accutronics reverb saturé.Une ressorts.2 12.Footswitch for HP channel change and boost.
Mine is one of the photo, it has the look of a black face in my ditto TwinAmp (gray drop cloth, not black)

UTILIZATION

On the clean channel, there is the sound of the Fender Twin, with a bit of acidity due to transistor.L EQ is effective. Only the reverb is very average, although it is an Accutronics.
The drive channel is quite workable, which surprised me, compared to 15 watts Line6 I get rid (poor sound ds all cases)

SOUNDS

Used with a PRS and a Start Plus to work with my students.
A clean lens (be careful not to force on acute)
Overdrive more than adequate for rock and hard.

OVERALL OPINION

I just bought it to replace a 15 watt Line6 SpiderIII I can not stand! I no longer have this nasal sound .... I tried a H & K Blues60 (I had read good advice and I was very disappointed), a Fender tube Supercontrol (a good clean but poor models). I needed a simple transo amp with a good basic sound (I play otherwise, on all lamps and Koch Fender TwinAmp) to work with my students. Excellent quality / price ratio. Reliability remains to be seen ds time.
