Fender Frontman 10G Guitar Amp, 10 Watts, with 2-Year Warranty, 6 Inch Fender Special Design Speaker, 5.75Dx10.25Wx11H Inches

Bought this for my daughter and it sounds great. Plenty of volume for practicing, clean tone, and easy controls. The headphone output is a huge bonus. Plug in and it sounds even better, plus she can practice without shaking the walls. Solid Fender build, simple to use, and perfect for a beginner or bedroom setup. Exactly what we needed.

The Fender Frontman 20G is a solid little practice amp that does exactly what you expect. It’s very beginner-friendly, the controls are simple and easy to understand, so you’re not spending time guessing what each knob does. The clean channel sounds clear and crisp, and the EQ knobs give you enough flexibility to shape your tone. The drive channel is fun to mess with too. It’s not super aggressive, but it’s good enough for practice and casual playing. For a 20-watt amp, it gets plenty loud for bedroom practice. I really like the aux input so you can play along with songs, and the headphone jack is great for quiet practice. The red design also looks cool and classic Fender. Overall, this is a reliable, no-nonsense amp that’s great for beginners or anyone needing a simple practice setup. It feels well built, and the 2-year warranty is a nice bonus.

I got this for my son and he loves it. Its his second Amp and he said it does exactly what he wanted. It sounds good. the settings are easy to understand and it pretty powerful for the size. It also light weight so moving it around is convenient as he practices in different locations. They also come in different colors so the options are nice.

I've had numerous amps over my 10+ years of toying around on guitar and electric bass. It's more than fair to say I have Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS), but I like to think I've toned down somewhat (pun fully intended). Among my arsenal in the "practice amp" section is a Blackstar HT-1R combo, a Yamaha THR-10, and my 5 watt Ampeg tube amp whose model name eludes me at the moment. So why this amp? Anyone whose spent time even researching amps can say the amps I listed are better than this little Frontman. The nitty gritty: I wanted a clean simple amp that isn't expensive, since it's in a place that could see it get damaged. Yep, that's it. Why not just play my Ampeg or HT-1R? The Ampeg is surprisingly loud for it's low-wattage stature, so I rarely get a chance to crank it up. My Blackstar WAS my bedroom practice amp (which is what this Fender is now), until a niece nearly spilled a drink on it. It's hiding downstairs in my studio, away from kids and liquids now. While I appreciate the THR-10's compact size, I only have floor space for amps, so I rarely get to hear the amp at ear level. Plus, although it has a convincing Fender-like clean, it's digital effects mean I spend more time toying with amp channels and effects than I do practicing. This amp is for practice, but that doesn't mean it sounds bad! I'm very partial to Fender's cleans, so that, along with the amp's low price and simplicity, gave me an excuse to fuel my syndrome. Since this amp is solid state, I can just plug in and turn it on. No waiting for tubes to warm up. It has a two band EQ and NO effects, so I spend more time PLAYING my guitar rather than fiddling with the amp. It can get plenty loud to offend folks in nearby rooms, but it's still a lot quieter than my Ampeg. Plus, I have access to Fender clean tones again!! No this amp isn't as nice as a '57 Champ (I used to have an Eric Clapton model), and it isn't as clean as a Twin (had a brief privileged chance to play one for a bit) but I like the fact this doesn't model anything. It's a Fender amp. Done. No frills. I exclusively use this amp on it's clean channel. The Overdrive channel..... I don't like it. It sounds WAY TOO compressed. There's no overtones, no nuances in the OD channel's tone that make it shine. I can't fault Fender for that too much though. They built this practice amp for a younger, less experienced audience. To my ears, it sounds bad, but my 10 year old niece thinks I sound like a rock god when I strum power chords while playing through the OD channel. Yep, I can hear someone: "Does it take pedals?" Yeah, any amp will. Some just do it better than others. Keep this amp on the clean channel and it LOVES pedals. I'm running my TC Electronics Hall of Fame reverb into it now, and am swapping out different OD and Distortion pedals to see which one I'll leave by the amp since I don't like it's built in overdrive. The reverb pedal sounds wonderful and on a spring setting, really gives the amp a more authentic Fender vibe (again, pun intended). So yeah, I didn't need another amp. But I'm happy my Blackstar is in a safer room, I'm happy I have an amp that produces Fender clean tones, I'm happy I didn't spend a lot of money. I'm happy it doesn't take up very much floor space, the household members are happy I won't blast the windows out of the house. Plus I'm spending my playing sessions actually playing my guitar instead of toying with effects. I bring that up a few times because I see other reviewers comparing this humble amp to it's fuller featured Champion brother amps. Yep, you'll get more bang for the buck by getting a Champion. But do you REALLY need all it's effects and channels? Really? I used to insist that I needed it all, and here I am, with several amps and I wouldn't mind having more to try and placate my endless search for tone. If you're serious about playing guitar, PLAY GUITAR. Don't worry about channels, effects, and such. You can learn to use them later on, but when you skimp on productive guitar practice, all the effects in the world can't save you from a critic that has sharp, trained ears.

This is an excellent, cost effective option, especially for those beginning their guitar journey or anyone looking for a practice option—like me. Its classic fender look is sweet! It’s well built, sounds good, and it’s easily portable. Pleased with this amp!

Nice little amp at a reasonable price. Good practice amp for a young player.

Works as it should. Very nice looking and sounds great.

I'll likely end up returning this because though it is fun to play and takes pedals well and has a tube amp sound/feel (clean channel), it has a high level of presence, that makes me play it differently than my other Fender tube and solid state amps (including my living room Frontman 10G, which is great with my pedalboard), and I need consistency among my amps since I play out regularly. Maybe the speaker just needs to be broken in more, but my others weren't like this when they were new. I'll also add that I played on at a store that didn't have enough "presence," so maybe this is something that varies in these amps. (Who knows, maybe I'll try to break in the speaker by continuously looping music into it. If that changes anything and I decide to keep it, I'll update the review.) I do like the red color. I'll also add that it has a lot of low end and is quite loud for its size (will keep up with a medium-hitting drummer in a small rehearsal space, but you'd want something bigger for a performance). And unlike tube amps, it stays clean with the volume dial all the way up (which is neither a pro nor a con, except some folks may want cranked amp overdrive, but there's the OD channel for that), and there isn't much of a difference in volume/sound from 7/10 on the volume dial to 10/10.
