Fender Frontman 20G Guitar Amp, 20 Watts, with 2-Year Warranty 6 Inch Fender Special Design Speaker, 10x16x16 inches

I've owned my classical guitar and baritone uke for a couple of years and both came with pickups for an amp. Took me this long to finally start the search for the right amp for my needs - which is for home use, for my own pleasure. I had no idea what to expect since I've had zero experience with amps, so did a lot of looking on Amazon and narrowed it down to either Orange and Fender. I went with Fender because of its reputation and they had the best price for a 10W amp, and honestly, I didn't want that ugly orange thing in my living room. Ha!Today I tried both my guitar and uke with this little amp and was blown away with how much better they sound plugged in! I experienced no buzz or feedback as other have described. It can go from pretty soft to very loud with no distortion. I love the treble/bass controls that really make them both sound deeper and richer. It has other features that I will never use in my setting with these instruments. I imagine that even for a small, intimate venue, this little amp would be sufficient for a classical guitar or uke.It's small, but not too small. Lightweight, but with a substantial feel. The handle on top makes it easy to carry wherever it needs to go, but fits perfectly under my desk next to my guitar, taking up very little space, and that's where it will stay. I think the price is very reasonable for it's class, and you can't beat the Fender name for quality amps. I may not know much about amps, but I know what sounds good, and this one does!So, if someone is looking for a small, but powerful amp for home use, this one is worth a try. Tip - If its "shipped from/sold by" Amazon (rather than 3rd-party seller), it will be easier to return if you don't like it. But I'm very pleased with my purchase; it's a keeper.

I can get all the volume I ever will need out of this amp! And I'm sure everyone knows that you aren't going to sound exactly like Mark Knopfler in his "Money for Nothing" Opening Riff without a bunch of other equipment, but then again, Knopfler himself says that he has never been able to exactly recreate that sound! (I guess the speaker mikes had been kicked around and when he was going to straighten them out the sound guys stopped him and told him not to touch a thing, that the sound they were getting was exactly perfect for that tune!!)Anyway, for my current level of play this amp is perfect! I paid about $20-30 more for the 20W model and I think that was money well spent, I don't know if that was just an electrical tuner upgrade or if the speaker was an upgrade too....

The Fender 10G Amplifier is an impressive little powerhouse! Despite its compact size, it delivers amazing sound quality, making it perfect for smaller rooms or small gatherings. It has everything you need to get great tone—from clear cleans to light overdrive—and the controls are simple yet effective. If you're looking for a portable, reliable amp with great sound, this is a fantastic option!

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 little guy works great inside the house. Packs enough punch and sounds great. It’s such a cutie to just look at.

Make no mistake, for the size the sound is incredibly loud. Has some good treble and bass controls as well as good overdrive. Loud and clear, and responsive. It is also pretty portable, since it's not so big. The power cable is thick and wont break very easily. It's also a great amp for starters as it has what you would need to play around with electric guitar. Overall a very good amp.

For he size and cost, it does what it is supposed to... that is, render a clean sound from your electric or acoustic guitar. I use an effects processor with it and sounds great for a Ten-Watt-Wonder. Some folks have complained about hum but if your home electrical circuits don't piggyback a dirty signal, then its not the amp... its your guitar(s).

AMAZING starter amp. not much settings but you get what you pay for at a good price to performance rating.
