"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

"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.
