3-band EQ. Headphone jack.

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 15-watt amp has an 8 in. Fender Special Design speaker, 2 selectable channels (Normal and Drive), 3-band EQ, and an external speaker jack.

I would replace it if lost. It won't break your back moving it around. It's perfect for what it does as a compact amp that is easy to haul around with plenty of output. Not loud enough to play a club on it's own but it's great miked into the house PA.
Sound
Classic Fender in a compact unit. Controls allow you to play a sharp rock lead or a mellow jazz tone or anything in between. Tremendous volume for its size. Surprising base for its size.
Features
For the price the features are good. Headphone jack for quiet playing keeps the rest of the family happy and the Aux inputs great for playing along and learning songs. Don't need effects. That's what my pedals are for.
Ease of Use
Pretty intuitive. Definitely play with the tone controls both on the amp and guitar to get the sound you like. I play a Fender Strat HSS that allows me many combinations of tone to select from.
Quality
It's Fender quality! Rugged and should last a lifetime.
Value
Great Fender product at a great price!
Manufacturer Support
Don't know. Never needed service.
The Wow Factor
Classic Fender styling so near and dear to a real guitarist's heart.
