Title: The best
Review: Where you are first starting to play amplified guitar choosing the right equipment can be confusing. I decided to stick with what I new to be the best name and I am glad I did. You are aware of the quality, even in the packaging. The sound, its build, and all is what you can expect from Fender. This amplifier will be given to your grandchildren if you use it for what it is build for. Look no more. You just found the best practice amplifier and the best price. You will also learn the sound of quality.

Title: Perfect little amp for home use
Review: 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.

Title: A clean little amp that won't distract you with features
Review: 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.

Title: Great little amp!
Review: I have 2 other performance amps for my guitars, but wanted something smaller and more portable for use with my ukulele. This fits my requirements. Clean crisp sound, bass is solid and does not sound tinny. Fender quality, 2 year warranty made decision easy to buy..

Title: Epic
Review: $80 was a steal imho. I listen to YouTube and Hulu on my iPad through it every day. I also play Spotify songs through it and of course guitar. Itâs nice and loud and the Middle knob makes a lot of difference and it isnât on the 10G, so pony up for this one. It was just $10 more when I bought it. I havenât used the Gain or Drive buttons except to try them once and didnât care for the effects, but I have an effects pedal that I use with it too.

Review: Pensaba que quizás por la potencia del amplificador no sonarÃa tan fuerte pero realmente tiene un muy buen alcance en cuanto al volumen. Tiene lo necesario en la parte del ecualizador para lograr un buen sonido para graves, agudos y se puede llegar a crear distorsión perfectamente.El único punto negativo que le pondrÃa a este amplificador es que solo tiene una entrada para el cable de la guitarra y eso puede ser confuso al momento de conectar algún efecto para la misma.

Review: Excelente sonido y versatilidad, lo he estado usando en 3 tipos de guitarras, una eléctrica, una electroacústica y una de viaje hush y funciona de maravilla. No es un amplificador para dar un concierto pero para fiestas familiares y de amigos reúne las caracterÃsticas para una excelente diversión.
