Fender Frontman Question

[Gary Blanchard]

So I have settled on this as the amp to use. I see it has a jack for a foot pedal. Would that turn the Drive Select on and off? I find that the Drive works for a couple of my songs but I'd rather not go to the amp to turn it on and off if I can help it. (I am so new at this amp thing. ops

Without knowing the model, I'd venture a guess and say yes...

 

[Bob411]

Probably. Maybe reverb too.

 

[wagdog]

Probably. What model frontman do you have?

25R. I found a pedal for $15, so I'll see what happens. From some things I read, it does seem to switch the channel.

Pretty sure it does switch the channel. Here's the manual: http://support.fender.com/manuals/guitar_amplifiers/Frontman_25R_manual.pdf

Says to keep the gain switch out when using the footswitch.

Thanks. I got the amp from Carol's son and didn't have the manual.

Those coloring book pics are,wait nevermind.

I have that amp Gary. It does switch from the distorted channel to the non distorted channel. I just bought some cheap one button -quarter inch cabled footswitch and it does a great job.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Yeah, the switch does a great job. Chances are, however, that I will not really be playing much electric guitar. I am about to be carrying 3 acoustics to each gig and don't really need an electric for performances.

No thanks. I have tried them out and they just don't do it for me.

Includes five acoustics.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

I have plenty guitars, I just need a roadie.

In reality, I am an acoustic player, and all of my songs have been written for acoustic. There are a few that could be done on the electric, but it isn't worth bringing all the extra equipment.

To be honest, if I could get the guts of a Variax JTV89F and install them in something with a Floyd Rose I'd build two or three of them and I'd be set with every darn sound and tuning I'd ever need. I have a Variax 500 that I use a lot, but I do tend to love my non-recessed Floyd Roses. LOL

I imagine as a non-trem user you'd even like this guy. Same thing but in an LP-type body and a wraparound bridge.

Never thought that Gary would be interested in OD
