However, at least they are more affordable these days, which means more people can access guitar playing.]]> Live Sound English one https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-70076 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-69011 Sat, 11 Sep 2004 20:19:10 +0000 A lot of them aren't as worth saving, either. I can't imagine there being as high a percentage of Champions surviving as there are Champs, because you'd be crazy not to fix a Champ that had any chance of working again. Time will only tell if the Pro Juniors do as well.]]> Live Sound slothrob https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-69011 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-68979 Sat, 11 Sep 2004 08:07:15 +0000 Live Sound waltaja https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-68979 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-64619 Fri, 06 Aug 2004 17:49:20 +0000
Ah, I see. The blue devil actually isn't part of the GMX family, but of the older GX series (the GX112 to be precise). And in my humble opinion, that line had some major problems, both with construction quality and sound quality. I would have taken that Fender over the GX112 any time of the day. I like the GMX210, espescially for the sily price they ask for them, but if you play a lot more with clean, then it's hard to beat a Fender, right? :D]]> Live Sound Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-64619 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-64615 Fri, 06 Aug 2004 17:18:37 +0000 They are good amps, and I really wnated one, but there does seem to be a quality control problem, and I wanted an amp that I could keep for years and gig regularly with, and didn't want to take a risk. Also, I play a lot more clean stuff than distorted, so the Fender Really suits me. I just couldn't cope with the quiet Clean channel on the Behringers.

Thankyou for your input.

But anway, and once again, have fun with the Fender. It was a cool amp for sure.]]> Live Sound Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-64429 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-64428 Tue, 03 Aug 2004 19:03:35 +0000
SteveBoutToRock- Just my 2 cents, but I will take a Fender over a Crate any day of the week. I've owned many amps, Crate, Fender, Marshall, Peavey etc.... In my experience Fender amps are the best quailty. I had trouble with all the others, especially the Crate and Marshall. In my opinion Fenders are just built better. Plus, I could never get a tone I liked from my Crate. I really tried too. For heavy Rock, the Marshall was the clear winner, but it started to fall apart on me after 2 years. It stayed on full gain no matter how I tried to adjust it, also the input jack started cutting in and out on me. I am careful with my amps, I don't abuse them.

Go on E-Bay and see all the 50 year old Fender amps that are still running perfect. They are just built better.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-64428 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-64426 Tue, 03 Aug 2004 15:35:59 +0000
The clean channel is wonderfully "Fender" i.e. it sparkles and doesn't even hint at breaking up.

The dirty channel is also fantastic .I don't often use amp distortion, I prefer my DS-1, however, this amp changed my mind. The "Drive" channel is an instant blues tone at the touch of a button, the "More Drive" Is heavier, but none the less useable. And then there is the "Mid Contour" button, which totally transforms the tone of the amp from Fender to Marshall Lead Sound. I tried out a few modelling amps before this, and actually this managed to create Fender and Marshall sounds better than any of those (including Line 6) And it's not even a modelling amp. Truly superb.

Also, this amp is loud :D the floor was shaking when the volume was at 1. This is NOT a bedroom practice amp, you have been warned.]]> Live Sound English one https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-64426 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-64362 Mon, 02 Aug 2004 08:00:54 +0000 Live Sound SteveoBoutToRock https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-fm-212r/#post-64362
