"great amp fit for purpose"

Feature:
the input jacks are very handy for cd or computer input a definite plus for jamin along with your fav tunes

Quality:
no worries

Value:
i was looking for a 15 watt amp with effects but went for the better deal better to buy effects seperate from any amp

Desirability:
a practical amp classic fender tone leaves more cash in your pocket for a better guitar such as a standard strat or tele

Sound:
classic fender tone, much better sound than the smaller amps good for country, blues and stones like rock and roll sounds great with strats, telecaster hollow bodies and even my sg. can be used in small bars miked into yer pa setup. it is a practice amp but is jam capable at reasonable volumes. this is not a metal amp however max drive can be a little tinny.

Support:
no contact needed deducted 1 point for telephone greeting "press 1 for english" menu option. (they are asking the question in english) as do all the corporate robots.

Overall:
this is a home, practice amp maybe home recording you will need a louder amp when jamin with yer buddy who wont turn his 50 watt amp down then a fm 65r is the next step

"Best $99.99 Combo Today!"

Feature:
I love the classic Blackface look with the silver Fender logo embossed in the left hand corner. I do wish though that the clean channel had more settings, but for the price, I really can't complain. For a 25 watt combo, this amp is LOUD!

Quality:
I couldn't find any faults with this amp at all. It seems to be a very well made product, although only time will tell. I do baby my gear and this is only going to be used for home practice, so it should be okay.

Value:
The best $99.99 solid state combo amp that you can get today. This is great for a beginner and is good for home use, recording, and even for small gigs.

Desirability:
C'mon, it's a Fender! How could you not want it!

Sound:
This is a very underrated amp for the money. It has that classic Fender clean tone that we've all come to love, and right away, I was able to pull off some blues and country riffs with both my Fender Strat and my Epiphone Les Paul Studio. The Treble and Reverb though, can be a little bit overpowering so,I don't put them any higher than 4. The distortion is IMO, very underrated also. If you take a little bit of patience and do some experimenting with the EQ, you'd be surprised at how heavy you can make the gain on this amp sound. Maybe I got lucky but I was able to crank mine up to 6 without the speaker breaking up on me.

Ease of Use:
It only took me a couple of minutes to familiarize myself with this amp. It's not exactly rocket science y'know!

Support:
Fender's customer support has alway's been very accessable as far as I'm concerned, and easy to deal with.

Overall:
This is not going anywhere. I'm even thinking about getting rid of my Crate GTD120 and replacing it with the larger Frontman 65R combo. That's how great this amp sounds.

"Good amp for the price."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
The reverb is good but can get a little fake if turned too high.

Quality:
Very nice Looking and well built.

Value:
Could be a little cheaper but for the money it's great.

Sound:
This is one good amp for the money. The sound it good. It really needs a better speaker to put out it's full potential. The speaker will rattle with higher volume. I plan to add a better speaker. But if you want a good practice amp it will fit the bill.

Ease of Use:
The gain is touchy and could use better control. With a pedal it's fine.

Support:
I haven't had to deal with them.

Overall:
I gave it a nine because of the touchy Gain control

"nice amp for start"

Feature:
the reverb is good but sounds a little fake on high gain

Quality:
the best

Value:
well i didnt bought the amp here i paid a little more this price is really good value

Desirability:
looks great from first sight

Sound:
the clean sound is great, the distortion is not too good but ok. this amp will not deal with high volume.

Ease of Use:
i handle it perfectly after 5 minutes

Support:
havent called them yet

Overall:
this amp is great for practice and will not deal with high volume(because of the small speaker). this is the best first amp can keep you satisfied for about a year.

"Fender Frontman 25: Buy It"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
The features are very satisfying :] A footswitch plug to switch channels instantly, RCA/aux input and output. Built in reverb that sounds orgasmic. Just don't turn it up to high or it will sound too messy. I wish this would have came with a Line Output to plug into mixers and such. That is the only reason I give it a 9 in features and not a perfect 10.

Quality:
The Fender Frontman II 25R amp with Reverb is a beauty and a beast. It's very durable. I put it in the car without a case or cover of any sort, and it still works perfectly. This thing has some good size and weight, feels very professional. This thing will last longer than you need it or want it to. It will be working forever.

Value:
Best volume and sound for the price. Fender is such a good and reliable brand. It's no wonder why they are so popular.

Desirability:
The speaker cover is nice and shiny. It's got the black leather look, which ilove. The design is simple and the color scheme is simple as well, but it makes for a VERY appealing product. The Fender logo is eye-catching! You will love looking at it when you first get it. It makes you feel accomplished.

Sound:
The sound fits whatever you want. The quality and volume is the amazing, especiall at this price. The sound definitely has emotion and character; this is not a dull sounding amp. If you want some real distortion, get a pedal. The distortion on the amp may not quite be what you want. It is compatible with any style of music. Both channels produce a vivid and lively sound. I have used the cheapest of guitars through this amp (behringer V-tone II) and it still sounds great. Good for practices and small small shows. It sounds really good when you elevate it.

Ease of Use:
It's easy. You can use horrible presets and like the sound of this amp haha. You can modify the sound to quite an extent to fit your musical style. The manual is very clear; if you need it.

Overall:
I will have this for a while. I will supplement it with some effects pedals and probably upgrade my guitars.

Fender Frontman II 25R Customer Review

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
Actually, it was my fault for not looking over the add more carefully. I was expecting for a foot pedal to be included, but after I received the amp and it was not in the box, I got back on line and saw that it was something that was optional. The money I saved by ordering online will be used up in buying a foot pedal. Again, my fault

Quality:
Seems to be made well. I had to tighten one of the phillips head screws on the side. It was sticking out about a 1/4". I tightened the rest of them as well.

Value:
Would have been better if a foot pedal was included.

Desirability:
I'm not sure the amp is sexy.

Support:
Have not had to request warranty work

Overall:
This is just a starter amp . . . I will be upgrading.

"good beginners practice amp"

Feature:
Should have come with a foot switch. I haven't tried the input jacks yet but they are potentially very useful.

Quality:
good quality construction. no mechanical or cosmetic flaws.

Value:
good amp for a low price

Desirability:
I'm not sure sex appeal can be applied to this little amp. Its just a practical addition.

Sound:
Ok for practice. Can be a little tinny on the highs. Lots of background hum. I can get a good range of tones with switching back and forth from clean to drive esp with the use of an effects pedal. A decent beginner amp

Support:
Haven't called them yet.

Overall:
I feel like I'm starting to outgrow this already. I came to this website to shop around for an upgrade. If I was currently in a band and performing I would only use this for practicing.

"This amp not for Band members but for late bedside fun."

Feature:
It only has distortion and reverb, but plenty if you dont need effects to hide your playing.

Quality:
Well there is constant 60 cycle noise and the chanels get crazy so i belive it is quality not ruff housing.

Value:
Good for the money and good for learning.

Desirability:
I dont realy care for it anymore as anytime i play i play for tone and volume, none of it i get there, so i will trash it some more (not purposly but not babeing it)

Sound:
Hey folks if you just started playing and have no other knowlage of tone and want to get started, start here. I have to say that i dont know if it is just the volume that i play or my metal music but it doesnt sound too swift. It cant cut threw any other noise without making a fair amount of noise and raket itself. The reverb gets fake around 3 and the distortion gets too muddy and starts squeling loudly. Go for it if you have a very small band or play acustic, i have to say not bad for acustics, but if you are a serious gigger no way dudes. Good tone if by itself.

Support:
havent talk to Fender for this amp but the support in the past was great.

Overall:
It's done its purpose for me along time now and i used it right much so there i enjoyed the ride.
