Overall Excellent amp! Really loud for a small amp. Easily compeats with marshall MG's . Good for rock, blues perhaps metal. Bit annoying when you cant turn it above 2 without the neighbors complaining!

I bought this amp to replace my aging Princeton valve amp. As you can imagine this amp had a lot to live up to and I'm please to say it does. The sound is almost as warm as it's valve ancestor. It certainly has the ability to upset the neighbours, but what I like about this amp most is it's a great recording amp.

I highly recommend this Fender amp for those who like to bother some neighboors one a sunday morning.

An all round good amplifer, whether you're a beginner or a pro and just want another amp on the side. Reccommended buy. 9/10

A decent, quality amp overall at an affordable price. Compares with 15watt Marshall amps at around the same price. Good sounds from clean, distortion is great for general rock and blues but not good for metal- buy a stomp pedal if you want to get some decent metal tones. It's pretty portable but also heavier than it looks. A good, reliable beginners amp.

I would recommend Fender Frontman 15G amp as I think it's great for the money, has a nice sound and is easy to use.

It's not mine, it's borrowed but I've been playing it lately and it really puts out way too much bass, but as far as I know that might just be due to a burned capacitor. Otherwise, it's a pretty good amp, sounded good without the bass issue as far as I remember.

Great deal overall on this excellent amplifier! It looks superb and I definitely recommended this to a friend or even anyone.

I bought the Fender Frontman 15G along with a Epiphone Les Paul Studio for my practice set-up at home, and it sounds excellent. Great sound quality, and low noise on the humbucking pick-ups.

Ok. Pity it half broke though.

The Fender Frontman is my first amp, and does a good enough job. The clean channel is loud and works best with lots of treble and light strings for blues or indie noodling, and if you set the tone control on your squier strat (I know you've got one - don't bother denying it) to zero you get a soulful tone which makes the speaker buzz like the amp has smoked too many cigarettes. Strangely, you get a similar effect when you set all guitar controls wide open, but with a lot more bite. Less guitar volume causes the buzz to disappear, making the jangle a lot more noticeable, but it stops the guitar driving the amp as well. Switching over to the distortion side causes immediate buzz-saw distortion at anywhere above 4/10 gain - good for death metal, but losing the clean side's good chords and clear tone. Open chords become a mindless wash of harmonics, barre chords still have very little note separation, and only power chords really take advantage of the channel's power and grinding tone. Full guitar volume causes screaming buzz no matter where you put the gain. Backing it off produces a more vintage tone, but because of the huge gain it isn't really very useful. A good amp for the money, but upgrade it before the squier.

I got Fender Frontman 15G Amplifiers in a guitar package for £179 (squier showmaster and frontman 15g amp).
I took this to a rehersal and had to mic it up so it could be heard over drums and bass.
When playing at home though, it was more than satisfactory (I did get quite a decent metal sound by fiddling the dials).
So yeah, overall it was good for playing at home but anything more it becomes lame as granny pants.

Don't just take this review into mind, go and try it. I prefer metal and you can't just understand the amp by reading this. As you're reading this bear one thing in mind - this is a starter amp so Kirk Hammet or Tony Iommi wouldn't use at Wembley stadium. Now to the review.
For most of you here, this will be your first amp (Especially if you buy the Squire starter package because this comes with it) so this will sound pretty good. It's incredibly easy to use. Set volume, overdrive on/off and then get a nice tone so this makes it very tempting just to walk past and start playing.
The clean channel first, sounds very good. It sounds clean, full bodied and bluesy, perfect for Chilli Pepper stuff. There is only a slight fuzz under 5 on the volume and that's loud enough for a mess around. The middle and treble are very versatile. You can get so many sounds by just twiddling with the knobs.
The overdrive, well, being polite will beat the [expletive] out of your neighbours. It is heavy. Too heavy! Fuzzing occurs the second you've selected overdrive and is almost louder than the guitar. The volume though, is easily sufficient on overdrive. I've never used it above 4! It's okay for death metal and it covers up your mistakes (so now you can play busted without the Sheer embarrassment of getting it wrong).
Overall it's a very good amp but by a cheap distortion pedal (Try www.bossus.com) to replace overdrive. However, on a 10 watt amp this will won't sound right. If you're getting it in a package go for it, but think harder if you're getting it single. If you already have an amp, save up for a Marshall, they're great. See below for alternatives and the APPROX price. Cheers.
