UTILIZATION

Level use, simple is hard.

The clean channel, whatever people may say, it's Fender, so clear and bright. We like it or not. Cot Overdrive is not a. Luckily, the prsence of an edge to find a sound that is not too ears bleed.

The volume produced by applied to both HP 100W 12 "Fender (Hon bill) is standard for an amp of this price. Use in an apartment near impossible if we want to raise the volume to hear the int gral of the spectrum produced by the amp. Trs enough for rptitions scnes and small (like bars ...).

Even if it is described above Fender, still has a 350 amp. In other words, Hi-Fi separates components are low end, and ralisations, including the shield is not all done by appointment.

SOUNDS

In clean channel with a little reverb, a branch of US LoneStar Start is not bad. sounds good to round and almost warm.
Modes drive more / drive are frankly means. I do not hardly ever used.

The reverb is classic spring reverb. The use sparingly, it participates in noise-General for the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

When I bought it I wanted an amp capable of producing a high volume particulire colorless.
Why? BECAUSE I head in the acquisition of a Tonelab SE. This n'tait not worth buying an amp better (and more expensive), with a particular sound, which would have masked the sound palette of multi-effects.

Now that I have a ToneLab, all that I ask my amp is an amp to be as linear as possible. What it does rev well!

The Fender FM 212R is a transistor amp, 100W rpart in two boxes 12 ", two between instrument, making a Foot Switch (included with switch!). This amp has two channels (clean, overdrive) .

UTILIZATION

Nothing could be simpler ... A rglage volume, bass, mid, treble for clean and overdrive rglage identical plus one SETTING THE level of distortion. The sound is sharp and snapping. Quickly found his happiness as "feeling" the rglages ... I do not know for me it is a special case but I have not had a manual with ...
It is true that in the room even at low rev boost its volume, but it feels good its BPS!

SOUNDS

This amp suits me perfectly. In clean, there is really pure sound and banging that goes for all styles fairly "classic" and the distortion gives a rather serious and bold type that fits over the "Hard", it is true that the cepandant sound distortion is really not good ... I play it with an Ibanez's series, the guitar rather mtal ajoutte a touch of its fat.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 weeks and I do not really regret my purchase. I did not try many MODELS but I think it's one that suited me best.
The report is really qualitprix gnial! for 350 euros it was a standard power (2 * 12 "!!), and a good quality amp trs albeit transistor.

Fender Frontman 212R.
transistor guitar amp 100-120 watts with a 2 HP 12 "Tested special sound design.
Between two (one active, one passive), effects loop, foot switch between normal / drive / more drive (included).
2 channels (normal / drive)
Spring reverb.

UTILIZATION

Amp very easy to use.
the foot switch provides three mode type signals by two LEDs on the left and right of it (clear channel left = yellow / red = left drive / more drive red = right (mode "more drive" is excellent for solos).
possibility to add contour to the mediums.

SOUNDS

This amp is powerful trs, and I can not mount the volume as I want to stir up the penalties under voisinage.le sound is extremely clear with brilliant highs and few basse.Du FENDER crach all, what . OVERDRIVE mode against by not interesting trs,
the sound of the latter is not at all that I'm looking for (it's heavy and not very faithful to the nuances of the game, without much color .....), a short play with a clean channel overdrive pedal Custom loop effect.
The spring reverb is great even if I have an AIM even more powerful, despite the fact she sings not bad.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and it's a cool amp. is not playing any style of music on it.
Even so let me choose as the next Marshall amp because its ulta-clear treble fender is not what I want, (I tried a marshall mg100dfx at a friends, and finally I prefer its saturation well crunch
the price is 350 euros nine (approximately) and it is not expensive compared to its strength and solidity.
The downside is that you can not push the sound back if we do not live in a remote corner !!!!!

Fender FM 212 R amp transistor, 100-120 Watts, 2 hp 12 "and between two jacks (active / passive).
Its clear
LOW, mid, treble
Its saturated:
LOW, mid, treble and distortion
Channel drive, more drive, over drive.

potentiometer reverb

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, I've almost never seen easier.
Its clear we get good sound easy, round and prcis.
Is in its saturated trs hard to find the right cause its a breath inpuisable.

SOUNDS

I am using the sound in saturated because I jou priori but blowing metal gives the low end, it is important not to play songs in which there are white because the breath is homniprsent and the is even more drive channel in / over drive. Too bad because the palm mutes are really powerful.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and a half, I'm qute a new bte because the notes on the little E string does not take long. Also without effect pedals sound is saturated with awful against the clear sound is perfect.
To address this poor sound quality I jou saturated with a Digitech pdalier RP300A and BC Rich Warlock Platinum Pro series and I must say that the sound is really good. Out of breath but still missing something, so it is I'm looking for a new amp. What is missing is simply totu lamps. But an amp 350 can not be dot.
The report qualitprix is ​​really great is if they have one of his pedals, but after all we know that Fender does not Specializes in metal.
So I put 5 / 10 because the quality of the light is perfect but the sound is awful saturated.
TRS is a good amp for beginners and is powerful enough not to miss his group, but his attention to saturation as I have said many times is horrible and the thing enpire when jou strong.

It is a transistor amplifier with an output of 100W, 2HP team of 12 "Fender (you will appreciate the sound of a prsence 212) open back
3 Channel: clean - drive - drive more
A spring reverb
2 guitar input (acitve and passive)
3-band EQ for the clean channel indpendante and drive
Volume indpendant for channel clean and drive
Mid contour small button used to dig the well mdium for a more aggressive
Comes with footswitch

This is a good amp for group play, trs powerful for a great price!

UTILIZATION

Trs trs simple configuration. No need to open the manual.
More than enough power for rpt 'group, even with a drummer who types trs trs fort!
The clean sound is good trs, turn the knob, there is something very easily.
Drive to the channel, that's another story ...

SOUNDS

The clean sound, nothing wrong, you can do anything with (it also supports trs well multi-effect pedals or analog!)
As against the disto ... it was not what was!
But if you buy at the same time a good little distortion from pedals, you will be filled.
As against the rverb trs is low, even background ...

I play it with a multi-purpose Zoom GFX-5 of distortion pedals and a Guyatone Flip Metal Monster, the sound is much better! (That said, a Boss DS-1 trs good job done!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for 1yr 1 / 2. It's clear enough apprcie the "neutral" and high power. The 2 HP 12 "are becoming a group.

For amateur big big sound, turn you over on Peavy Bandit, the distortion is much better! and much more rverbe Submitted.

The ratio quality price is excellent.
I srement remake that choice (or when in doubt with a Peavy Bandit)

- Amplifier Transistor

- 100 Watts into 2 * 12 inches

- 2 input (active and passive + Foot + Out + Pwr IN)

- Reverb

- Clean, drive, drive more

- Foot switch

UTILIZATION

- Are there not simpler!

- It sets the clean and drive separately, and with the foot switch is managed super simple!

- It sets the clean quickly

- The saturation is more chiantes!

SOUNDS

- If you have a guitar polivalente we obtain for almost all (me with a Start, list ASh trapping ca)!

- To clean the AC input, this is really his element, no coment is really the TOP (almost say)!

- The saturation well if you're used amps boring you go out for a first amp go your way, not just be habit and it ended out good sound, but it is not super super accurate !

- The Reverb is really not great, I would say it is not much!

OVERALL OPINION

- For a little less than a year, I bought it to pair with my Start!

- Vraiemnt to the Canon's Clean!

- The saturation is not bad but get used. . .

- The R (reverb) is too much!

- The value for money is not bad at all (I bought € 300)!

- For what I wanted to make it suit me perfectly, but this amp will not fit every style, still have to love the button Fender!

100W transistor amp
HP 12 -2 (which dlivre power than satisfesante)
-Spring reverb
-2 + Disto diffrent a boost on the distortion
-Footswitch often provided very useful

UTILIZATION

This is an amp that will not meet at all the fans of metal or even hard rock.
the clean sound is very clean it may seem sometimes too mtalique depending on what you want to play. Power mode light is impressive I think (for a transistor), this is the role of two 12-HP, which play their role perfectly.
in distortion we also have a persuasive power in May it is not pretty cost. I play with for the past one year prs. It is to beginners and all styl simpa May it be soon enough. I am player pop rock (which does not ncssite forcment heavy distortion) and even the fender on FM 212 R does not follow.

In short I only takes 5 / 10 has this amp because I think it is not at all Polivalente Despite its high power.

SOUNDS

As I said prcdement the sound of the distortion is terrible, it's more an over-drive than anything else, but good.
then how clean I think it will satisfy certain (e), but really not all?
finally a word on rverb it really is not effective, too low for my taste.
AYou to try it!

OVERALL OPINION

Even if I give you the impression dtest and fall EmS this amp is not my goal.
this amp will suit the RPTS and small concerts (I'm talking to Record new power), if you DSIR an amp with good distortion Polivalente and a clear drinking I do not advise you.
For my part I have a year with jou and now I dbar to play a Peavey Valve King VK112.
a cot of FM212R I possde a fender frontman 25R (25W) and at the sound I play well prfre this small 25W amp. may be is it a matter of taste but hey I think it's up to you to make your own IDE.
do not be fooled by your first test gst take to try it thoroughly.

Finally, I wish that the report dir quality price of this amp is when lev mm. for 350 you can only Attak scne a little, so if you do not have too much and that means you want Attak REPRESENTATIVES it has a good deal. But I tell you when you risk even when careful mm to be fed up at one point.

+

-> Report quality price
-> Power
-> May be the ergonomics and design

-

-> The rverb
-> The disto
-> The sound often too mtalique
-> knob of the vomume (it turns a little and his dcolle thoroughly and after a continuous when we turn there is more evolution, but this is classic fender at the beginning of the range)

certainly not leave you convince a simple notice and will try to give you your own opinion

bye

Any transistor amp, 100 watts. No need to repeat the adjacent t said.

UTILIZATION

The amp is very simple to use, you can easily find the sound for. No need to linger over the Nor ...

SOUNDS

See below ...

OVERALL OPINION

You really have to mfier everything you read in the reviews ... Indeed, it is said everywhere that the FM 212 is almost unusable in saturation. It sr, ct amp lights much more expensive, he ple figure. It is also true that the sound obtained when overdrive is quite cold does it well saturated - this amp will please NEVER a metalhead, or even an amateur fat and punchy sound. But it's even far from being as bad as they say! Any fawn, the main quality FM212 is the clear sound. If you are looking for a shiny, smooth and slamming both typical Fender, and a great price: look no further, it is the amp IDAL.
What is important when you achte amp (or any musical instrument, for that matter) is not to be fooled into thinking that all the sound comes from the hardware. The sound is you who makes it, by turning the knobs on the guitar and amp, by spending time looking for the ultimate rglage and the fawn playing. The ultimate rglage, I think to have found and I rgale, both at home in RPET! Obviously, if I could, I would have bought the 59 Bassman ... May be one day ... Meanwhile, I highly recommend this amp anyone looking for a beautiful clear sound budget.

Transistor amp, 100 watts, everything is already said. 100 watts, but it's just enough ... and for the price, we will not spit ...

UTILIZATION

The so everything is already said ... very simple

SOUNDS

Good, let me say that although the distortion is rotten, but the sound is clear cried. I want to say that I am a metal rather in the extreme. For now, I can tell you but seem incendiary ... and this is more than important, but: I use a distortion pedal digitech death metal from home, and the sound is perfect. Considering the price, the amp is truly excellent.

OVERALL OPINION

Over time, I do not regret my purchase, I remake the same without any hesitation. The amp is very cheap for an excellent performance. Of course a big fat marshall tube is not comparable, but the prices either. In short, this amp is an amp for jazz, but with adquate pedal, this amp is a killer in any style (at least for metal). I recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap amp, powerful, and does not ignore the sound.

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.

- Amp 100Watts - 4ohms Transistor
- 2 speakers 50Watts 12Pouces - 8ohms
- 3 Channels: Clean and Drive / More Drive
- 3-band EQ for clean channel
- 3-band EQ Mid Contour Switch + 1 for Channel Drive / More Drive
- Effects loop (Preamp Out - Power Amp In) or line out (preamp out only)
- 1 Spring Reverb
- Pedal 2 buttons: Changing channels (Clean / Drive) and More Drive button

For that price a very good config, not the damage he n'yait Mid Contour switch on the pedal, but in Marshall either.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, volume and EQ, channel change ...
No need for manual!

SOUNDS

- By clean, we get a very fast excellent, nothing to say.
- However it is more difficult to find a good sound drive, as evidenced by all the other opinion;
One is tempted to play fast on channel More Drive (Drive channel appearing less powerful) and we get to the extreme: a very powerful but very rough and very very breath set to 2 / 10.
Do not necessarily kill the amp! know the channel and push the More Drive channel drive has 8 or 9 / 10, with lots of treble, mids at 4 with Contour Mid and low between 3 and 4, this gives a good crunch, but few Versatile ... then use an effects pedal for other sounds.
Metalhead abstain.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month with a Fender-Squier Black & Chrome Stratocaster.
I love the most, like everyone else, the Fender clean sound perfect though.
It has nothing to envy to Marshall on this point.
I play rock crunch thus obtained drive is fine with me, but could generate people who want to sound more metal and most versatile ...
For that I had a couple multi-effects pedal Korg AX1500G as this amp is a very good price / quality ratio.
With experience I can be considered a Marshall MG100DFX a little more expensive but, maybe not ...

- Amp 100Watts - 4ohms Transistor
- 2 speakers 50Watts 12Pouces - 8ohms
- 3 Channels: Clean and Drive / More Drive
- 3-band EQ for clean channel
- 3-band EQ Mid Contour Switch + 1 for Channel Drive / More Drive
- Effects loop (Preamp Out - Power Amp In) or line out (preamp out only)
- 1 Spring Reverb
- Pedal 2 buttons: Changing channels (Clean / Drive) and More Drive button

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 ...

Everything has been said already

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is it simple?
you turn the knobs

- Gets it easy to sound good?

in clean yes, disto bit more u should settle it

but the distortion "fender" is typed, and he must love.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...


pk make a manual?

there must be sth ocnsiderer: no one buys this type of fender for a large saturation just as a strato standart for the metal. I keep the channel clear, distortion (orange or red) to the cool / big crunch, then I would put a distortion pedal in (a Rocktron Zombie) and I have a 4 channel amp, clean, light crunch , heavy crunch, and a saturation bilge ... a possible boost for solos (such as Nitro) and presto, here is a config for pubs / redo does not return at all expensive!
If we consider the price with what acaht want to have without breaking the bank too, then this is a good compromise. something else, I would add qq both the clear sound of a Gainiac a Rocktron, the clean sound is monstrous, it's night and day ... if that were attempted using the distortion of Gainiac, with this config is a + or - any sound basis for the blues / funk / rock / hard, see death

SOUNDS

- Will it fit your style of music?

yes, from blues to funk to hard rock, metal (in its own distortion to rajoutan)

- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?

Hamer Diablo, esp custom deluxe Hz
- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?

lens! in the light or the sound is good, the distortion added above type "pedal" or "rack" that can not be good!

- What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

I love them all ...

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it? 6 months

- What is so special that you like most and least?

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

yes
- How would you rate the quality / price?

ecxellent!
One of the highlights precisely!

an 2x12 at this price ...
- With experience, you do again this choice? ..

no pb! typed fender sound, cool without breaking the bank ..

100W amplifier transistors, between a jack, a footswitch jack, possibility to put an effects loop.
A clear channel and a channel saturated with a "boost" the saturation if you want a rverbe spring.

The key, no frills.

UTILIZATION

Rgler not hard, you plug it lighter and it plays!
I play an Epiphone Les Paul Standard, and frankly it's not complicated to get a good sound!
the legalization is effective (I think) and having a boost on the Distortion channel allows sharp and aggressive solos.

SOUNDS

Then we attack the heavy .....
The clear sound is of the fender, there's nothing wrong it's all good, sounds the most bluesy to ska rhythm trs is the road.
The saturation is not ashamed that this is not the best I've heard, though I play a marshall rgulirement all lamps (JCM 900) and I find that the fender does not hide away from.
This gives sound rock, punk and heavy quite satisfactory (yes it's good for punk trs not hard but good).
The boost mode allows for more EHJV in his solos at the time, and it's really well thought out for those who do not have pedals or distortion of multi-effects (although that this is not my case).

And for an amp of thunder on the cheap, it's simple: add a multi-effects pedals or distortion pedals in front and play on the clean channel, it is dclenche and shock : a distortion that dcoiffe and clear sound excellent!

In addition, this amp allows good diffusion of the trs sound from its 2 HP 12 ', which can be very useful when you do live for a better quality of sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for 3 weeks and I live because of the ADI and fifteen RPTES with, I had some problem (it was overheating but APRS have more rest of problem) that disappeared trs quickly, I had bought used and had not turned for a long time so it may be necessary as long as a fresh start at any If I am fully satisfied and the price even if it's all transistor is that the good you can go there with closed eyes.
Good qualitprix, and I would do forcment this choice I made dja 3 weeks ago.
