I have been trying to wrap my head around why Fender would market this product and I cant come to any conclusion.In fact, its one of the cheapest 2 x 12 combo amps that youll find.This is a solid state amplifier, putting out 100 watts into 4 ohms.
It has two 14 inputs and other 14 connections for a foot switch (which I think is included), and preamp out and power input. UTILIZATION The Fender Frontman 212 R has two channels and includes built in distortion and reverb. Fender Frontman 212 Reverb Combo Plus A DriveThe first channel is simple, with only knobs for volume, treble, mid, and bass, while the second channel has the same plus a drive parameter. It also has a channel select button (also controllable with the foot switch), a more drive feature, and a mid contour button as well. SOUNDS The sound of the Fender Frontman 212 R is pretty average overall. The clean sound is okay, although very solid state sounding and not warm like tube amp. ![]() However, the distortion on here is pretty much unusable and its super tinny. The reverb is nice to have but again isnt the best of its kind. It sounds okay for the price, but will never stand up to most other Fender amplifiers. OVERALL OPINION The Fender Frontman 212 R is a good amp for those who are just starting to play guitar but want a semi-decent amp without spending too much. Id still probably recommend going with something smaller if youre just starting out, but if you insist that you need a bigger amp for gigging and still cant pay more than a few hundred bucks, the Frontman 212 R should suit you. If youre looking for an amp built to last, this isnt it, but it is super cheap and worth checking out for those looking for their first 2x12 amp. Fender FM 212R 1 The all black version of the Fender frontman which is only cosmetically different then the silverface once from Fender that you would normally see. What is this amp.is what Im thinking when I first glance at it It looks very deceiving because it looks like a Fender Twin or something but it doesnt have any tube and its not an amp modeling even though it is priced at that price point. If you see this thing at yard sale beware because you might think youre looking at a Twin Reverb but you come to find out it is some solid state two speaker waste of time. It has three channels that sound awful besides the clean channel. The clean sounds decent but god lord this amp is terrible UTILIZATION Effects Loop: Effects Loop (Preamp Out, Power Amp In) Inputs: Two Auxiliary Input: 14 Footswitch Jack Channels: Three Selectable Channels (Normal, Drive and More Drive) Power Handling: 100 Watts into 4 Ohms Controls: Normal Channel: Volume, Treble, Bass.

It sounds horrible with any guitar and and effect pedal you put through it. It takes pedals extremely bad and guitar sound like your playing hasnt improved since you first picked up a dusty acoustic guitar. This amp.Im sorry is just garbage.
