Product Description

Our Frontman amps deliver quality tone at a great price, with custom-voiced built-in overdrive for great tone and the unmistakable Fender Blackface look. The 10-watt Frontman 10G features a 6-inch Special Design speaker and a selectable gain control that can rock guitar tones from tube-emulated overdrive to full-strength ultra-saturated distortion; perfect for blues, metal and the famous Fender clean tone. Closed-back design gives a heavier bass response; the 1/8-inch input lets you play along with your media player of choice; and the 1/8-inch headphone output is great for silent practicing.

This review is from: Fender Frontman 10G Electric Guitar Amplifier (Electronics)

Small, light (less weight than, say, an industrial lunchbox computer), fairly loud for its size, built like the proverbial tank, no unwanted extras. And it's cheap! (Sixty at my local GC.) It has a very nice clean sound, which you can dirty up a bit via the built-in overdrive (there's a button and a gain dial). I especially like that, unlike many competing products, this amp is free from the usual multitude of built-in effects. My view is, if I need something, I'll hook up a pedal; good clean sound is all I need from a "bedroom" amp -- and I don't want to pay for what I don't need; from that standpoint the 10G looks ideal. This thing is good for practice and no-drums creative sessions with friends. Five stars.

The amplifier far exceeded my expectations. The sound that it produces is outstanding. It is much better than my $200 amplifier which is much bigger and heavier. The overdrive button is amazing. This 10 lb. product will be very mobile and when considered with the quality of the sound, I will likely never use my larger, more powerful and more expensive amplifier. I could not be more pleased with my purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good apartment practice amp, January 14, 2011

This is a good enough everyday, low volume, small apartment-ready practice amplifier. The volume gets actually louder, and it stays clean as long as you don't have the guitar dialed to 10 and hit the strings like a mad man, in which case it distorts the sound even in the clean channel.
You shouldn't use this for practicing with your band, it was not designed for it.
As for the sound quality, well, if you want tone you will have to pay for it... this thing is just to listen to what you are doing during your practices.
I've got it plugged to my Stratocaster and my PC from which I play the tunes I practice along with. Works fine in that setting.
One little caveat is that once you play what you practice with your 10G in a real amp... you might hear some mistakes you couldn't really listen to before due to the compressed sound of this little speaker.
Advice: place it against the wall, in a corner, and the bass and overall tone will improve substantially.
