I am currently running a Fender Frontman 15g guitar amplifier. I brought my guitar to school and my techer and prinipal wants my to perform. I need an amp that can work any where from a 25 by 30 foot room to a 30 by 100 foot cafeteria. I can’t use my frontman amp because it won’t work on loud volumes. Any reccomendations? Also, it has to be under 200 dollrs.

Oh yeah, also I need some good effects. I need a good distortion, wha, flanger, delay and the pedal that slash uses in the verse of sweet child o mine that he used for the arpeggio in the verse.

I would say go to a pawn shop and you could find a decent 30 watt for about 100-150. I’d say a roland cube 30 or cube 20 would do the trick and it has built in chorus, delay, reverb, flanger, 5 distortions, tremolo, phaser. and the effect you’re thinking of is chorus, really the roland cube 30 or 20 is the best idea and besides all that it sounds really good, and for a wah check ebay dont be fooled by bullshit like jimi hendrix wah or slash wah the stand Dunlop Crybaby wah sounds exactly the same and on ebay you can probably get all of that for $200.

I’m deciding between the Fender G-DEC 15W Junior and the Fender Frontman 15W. I play alot of blues and clean rock, like John Mayer stuff. I’m just looking for this amp to be my practice/studio amp. I want something with effects and cool options but nothing that takes away from an authentic sound.

Here’s the deal, The G-Dec is a practice amp with a new twist. It has backing tracks on it to play to. Meaning it has bass and drum tracks on it in different styles of music, rock,blues,etc.. It also has effects on it as well, chorus,delay etc.. I believe they have also put patches on it from famous guitar players like Eric Johnson etc.. to imitate their sound(s).

The Frontman is a regular amp, I would have to look at the specs to see if it has effects. I know it doesn’t have backing tracks.

I’m trying to connect my acoustic amp to my computer so I can record my guitar. I already have software but I need to find a cable of an adapter to connect the amp to the sound card in my computer. The only line out is a 1/4" jack. If anyone can help, I’d really apritiate it.

Okay. I’m assuming your line-in is a 3.5MM/1/8" jack. The way I would approach this is to attach a 3.5MM to 3.5MM patch cable to your sound card’s line in. Attach a 3.5MM to 1/4" headphone adapter to the patch cable. This should work.

You can buy these parts for about ten bucks at any radioshack. Monoprice has them for about 1.50$+ 6$ shipping. They also have great things like 4$ HDMI cables, though, so you should probably stock up with 20$ of cables there so you’ll always have things like TRS patch cables or RCA barreks for instruments issues like this.
