Frontmann Fender 2 X 12 "Resistor

Good amp, very powerful (100W), 2 caneaux Clean and Drive / More Drive, Spring Reverb

Pots arranged from left to right ("/"= Change [chanel]):

[all chanels] Master volume / [clean] aspen, middle, bass / [overdrive] drive, volume, aspen, middle, bass / [all chanels] reverb

Buttons:

- Channel Select (no comments)
- Drive more (more = saturate the overdrive channel)
- Mid contour (= having a more "clean" when using the channel Overd)

Input / output jack

-Input 1
2-Input
Foot-switch
Pre-out (line out =)
PWR-in (= entry for anything other than a guitar: mp3, stereo, digital piano ...)

I put 9 / 10 under this heading because the most annoying thing for this amp is its weight of 21, 8 kg!
But where else it's great to use alone or in concert repeats (small rooms up outside!)

UTILIZATION

Hyper simple configuration, so no problem finding its sound, and not even need the manual!
10/10 for use!

SOUNDS

Very versatile amp!

In clean channel, its ability to have a very "dry" or very "bold", passing between the two.

In overdrive channel:
- Drive: the sound is rather cruchy, very good for the blues ;-)
- More drive: there's a harder, therefore good for playing styles from hard rock to black metal
(Of course, you can always ajustter Knob its sound with the "DRIVE")

Well, I use it almost always clean channel with a Boss DS-2, which makes it not too bad ^ ^

8 / 10 for sound because my concern is the power that this amp gives off (master volume on 2 and 3 repeat in concert, too powerful for my utilitée)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year is my first "big" amp.
Value for money, it provides: approx. € 290 nine
But with experience I think I ferrai another choice, just to see what is otherwise ;-)

Overall opinion: 9 / 10
