daveinspain Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Another $99 Fender amp at Guitar Center! Now this one is really sweet, a 25 watt Fender combo 10" speaker and reverb... I wish I didn't get the Champ... Damn! Today only and only on line... Tim I think this ones for you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I think the Champ was a better deal and probably a better amp (from a tube snob point of view). The Frontman 25R is solid state and has an MSRP of $129.99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I tried a couple of amps from the (new) frontman series at a store a while ago... 2 of them blew up while I was playing and the store guy told me "oh yeah, they do that" I lMFAO, tried the head version and left. The head version was kind of nice for the price and matched with a decent cab (the fender cab was a POS), but matching it with a decent cab takes you into above 800 territory and with that you can go with a nice all tube combo. You know what fender amp is great? The princeton... I've owned 5 different incarnations, still own 2 (one tubed and one SS with digital fx) and all of them sounded nice and were reliable, I even used a couple for small gigs with great results.

The best tube amp I've owned to play jazz...(though, I've never played over a Polytone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
