Fender Frontman 10G Guitar Combo Amplifier

The Frontman 10G is the simplest way to start making noise with your electric guitar. Ten watts and a 6-inch speaker give you enough volume for your bedroom, and the clean and overdrive channels let you explore the difference between sparkling clean tones and that crunchy, distorted sound that makes rock guitar so exciting. The controls are basic and intuitive -- volume, gain, treble, bass. No menus, no confusion.

For a first amp, what matters most is that it sounds good enough to keep you inspired to practice, and the Frontman 10G delivers on that front. The Fender clean tone is genuinely pleasant at this price, and the overdrive has enough character to make power chords satisfying. A headphone jack lets you practice silently, and the aux input is great for playing along with songs. Plug in, turn up, start playing.
