Hi - I'm gradually moving up the Frontman range - bought a 15R and loved the sound but not quite loud enough. Bought a 25 - fine for small gigs but still a bit quiet in large halls. So now considering the 65R. Can anyone confirm that it sounds exactly the same as the 15/25 - but LOUDER??

I have a DeLuxe 90DSP but cant get it to sound like the Frontmen ;-(

I have been doing extensive amp research, being as I am a bass player that plays guitar for my own recording.
I played the whole line of Frontman amps, and almost settled on the 65R, until of course I got my hands on the 212R. They all seem to sound close, and have basically the same qualities, albeit the features change or increase as the amps do.
The 65R, and the 212R lack the headphone jack, but fundamentally the sound and knobs are the same.
I walked out of the store on Saturday with my 212R, and it rocks! I don't need more than 50 watts, and this amp is 100, but I wanted the dual speakers for tonal aesthetics and ambiance. Plus, I also play a seven string and the additional speaker helps the broad range of the low B.
This amps clean channel is one of the best i have heard in both solid state and tube realms. This was the deciding factor for me - as I wanted a simple clean amp, that I can trow a pedal in the chain as needed.
Hope you find the right one - a test drive definately helps!
