About the Fender Frontman II 25R Guitar Amplifier with Reverb
Fender's Frontman Amp® series just got a facelift, yet all the tone, reliability, and value of the line remain consistent. Their Blackface cosmetic treatment (skirted knobs, silver grille cloth) makes these amps look as good as they sound! Each amp includes a headphone jack and an auxiliary input allowing the user to play along with a CD, tape player, or drum machine. This 25-watt, open-back amp has a 10 in. Fender Special Design speaker, 2 selectable channels (Normal and Drive), built-in reverb, 3-band EQ, and an external speaker jack.
Fender Frontman II 25R Guitar Amplifier with Reverb Reviews
Feature:
Good enough for the price. At this price, I'd rather have 25 W, a 10 in. speaker and no effects, than a 15 W, 8 in. amp with a bunch of DSP effects. Would have liked to have a volume adjust for the CD/line input.
Quality:
very well made, especially for the price. Metal corner caps, solid cabinet, heavy (28 lbs.).
Value:
I got a very good deal on this, well below the $139 price that is on most web sites.
Desirability:
This amp and small Marshall amps have the most visual appeal to me. I looked at a small Vox, which is a bit too retro (in appearance). Crate amps don't have a vintage look.
Sound:
Given that this is a relatively small, inexpensive amp, the sound is very good. Getting a 10" speaker at this price is part of it. The disortion of the overdrive channel sounds pretty good, at least as long is the gain is held to modest levels. The reverb sounds natural as well.
Support:
No experience yet. Fender support is supposedly very good.
Overall:
I was also tempted by the more expensive Fender Champion 30W amp, with its built-in DSP effects, but for the money difference it makes more sense to buy a separate effects box ($50 or $60) that will have more features, built-in tuner, amp models, etc.
