Feature:
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.

Quality:
It's Fender quality! Rugged and should last a lifetime.

Value:
Great Fender product at a great price!

Desirability:
Classic Fender styling so near and dear to a real guitarist's heart.

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.

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.

Support:
Don't know. Never needed service.

Overall:
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.

Feature:
If I'd gone out to buy this, I'd probably have gone for the 15R (with reverb) or the 25R - but it was a gift from my wife, and I don't use reverb that much anyway.

Quality:
Very solid indeed. Runs for hours non-stop, never skips a beat. All in all, no complaints here.

Value:
Stunning amp for the money.

Desirability:
Nice looking amp, proper Fender blackface styling - but it's so SMALL ;-) Actually it's really useful since so easy to carry, but it does look a little silly on stage!

Sound:
Tiny solid state amp that it is, it does sound like a Fender. The clean sound is very impressive, but the drive channel is excellent too once you get used to it (see Ease of Use). Experiment with the guitar tone control when using overdrive - from a raw snarl (full treble) to a creamy, woodwind tone (treble rolled right off). Playing live in church I put the amp on a chair and close mic with an AT Pro22a (dynamic) just off speaker centre - through the 600W PA it sounds just tremendous.

Support:
No complaints with Fender support generally (I've played Fender guitars for 30+ years) - never needed support for this amp.

Overall:
Love it - if it were lost or stolen I'd probably go for a Frontman 25R, but I've no intention of deliberately changing it.

Feature:
Standard compliment of controls. I nver had much use for the RCA inputs.

Quality:
The knobs are nice and solid, but I broke the original switch (and the heavy duty replacement...so this is more a problem with me than the amp perhaps) but the repair was easy enough.

Value:
This amp should be priced much cheaper compared to other comparable products.

Desirability:
It's an amp. It's better than nothing.

Sound:
Not the best but OK if you're just starting out. I wouldn't use it live...the overdrive is very clinical and the clean is SO clean that if you use the bridge pickup, it is painful to listen to.

Ease of Use:
Everything about this amp is run-of-the-mill. The manual isn't worth crap but basic twiddling on the knobs aquainted me just fine within about a half an hour.

Support:
I've never been one to call for tech/customer support, but I hear that Fender has good customer service.

Overall:
See above.

Feature:
Well it has a three band eq and two channels and nothing else

Quality:
The quality is actually good I've dropped it a ton of times and it still works (I dropped it on the sidewalk)

Value:
Not really worth the amount of money I paid

Sound:
Well it sounds okay but the buzzing and higher levels tells you that it is not supposed to turn it up high. The Gain channel is just BAD but its just a practice amp okay.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
Its an alright amp for the beginging guitarist but you'll probably want a better amp later

Fender Frontman 15G Amp Customer Review

Overall:
          9 out of 10
Submitted: 12/17/2004

 

 
Sound:
This Amplifier is great all around. I play an acoustic Takemine through it. It gives it great electrictified wood sound. It sounds great playing anything from the Eagles to Hank Williams Jr. to Bill Monroe. I just LOVE it.

Quality:
Looks good after a year, just sounds bad...

Value:
I guess you get what you pay for... I figured Fender would not put their name on it if it was only good for a boat anchor...

Desirability:
Looks good... I guess I could put it on par with a lifesize cardboard picture of a Ferrari... As long as all you're going to do is look at it, it's great.

Sound:
I've had this thing for a year... Good when new... Ready to get rid of it... The wife was so tired of hearing me cuss at the buzzing, that she bought me a new amp for Christmas... (Don't ask)...

Overall:
I want to sell this, but, I don't think I will find any buyers... Unless they just want it to prop open a door... It buzzes and sounds terrible... I never cranked it up, just normal volume... I went through some of the forums and people have spent hours trying to keep the buzz to a minimum... That's time I'd rather spend playing...

Feature:
no reverb. 2channel one set of tone control and a gain control separate volume control

Quality:
Had it for 2 years now. Sound is obviously not as good as before

Value:
i suggest getting a better amp even if you are a beginner

Desirability:
no

Sound:
The distortion is very muddy. clean tone is okay. It has a annoying noise when you turn up the volume a little bit

Ease of Use:
......it's got like6 knobs

Support:
donno

Overall:
I have played with some other amps during the past 2 years. This thing doesn't have the warmth, cleanness of a fender. It doesn't hold its value. The noise is a huge pain. don't recommend it.

Quality:
this thing for the most part is built pretty solid, the only thing is that the input jack is pretty wobbly after a while, no big deal though.

Desirability:
you dont really want this amp, its an amp you buy when your starting out because its all you can afford after you buy your guitar.

Sound:
the overdrive chanel i think sounds pretty good, but the problem is that the speaker sounds aweful.

Ease of Use:
this amp is pretty easy to use and works well with a pedal, but by itself does not at all have a wide range of sounds.

Overall:
not a bad starter amp, just keep in mind that you will likely outgrow it very quickly after buying it.

Feature:
Lots of neat features. Everything you really need, nothing you don't. Maybe reverb would have helped, but it isn't 100% necessary. It's just an add-on.

Quality:
The quality is great. Everything is fine, nothing broke and there is no visual damage.

Value:
For $80, an awesome deal.

Desirability:
An amp? Sexy? You perverts. Joking... It looks fine. It reminds me of the 60's and 70's for some odd reason.

Sound:
The sound is great. It is fairly clear, the tone is pretty good. It has some fuzzy-ness to it, but I like that because it gives it a used, vintage appeal to me.

Support:
Haven't needed, but I think it'll be good if I do need it...

Overall:
Definately the best beginning amp. Worthwile, hell, even good a good pratice amp for a pro or someone who's more advanced but doesn't want to shell out $500...

Feature:
Its got everything I need, im in a band so I travle a lot from place to place, so if I dont feel like gettin by big amp, I get the Fender. Fender is a Fender, nithing changes.

Quality:
Ill have to say its a pretty good product, Ive never spotted any loose parts or any screwed up.

Value:
YES, DEFINITLY! ;O)

Desirability:
Sex appeal...............? ;O)

Sound:
Its pretty good, but not as good as a Mesa Boogie, but its good for travleing and crap.

Support:
Ive never dealt with the company but if I ever will ill know what to expect.

Overall:
I will stick with this until it breaks, and if it ever does ill get it fixed or ill buy a new one just like it, the make'm all over. There is nothing I like least about it, ill buy anything thats a Fender.
