Hey all,
Well this is my first post, probably of many. I am new to the guitar playing world and I am addicted.! I have a question about the Frontman 25R. What is the difference between the new model and the older model? I see that the new ones have a aux out and the older one just has an output jack. Also how much did the older ones go for new?
I am asking this because I was offered a new peavey hp special ex guitar and the older fender frontman 25r for $550. I heard the amp with this guitar and it sounded great. I also heard the amp driving a 60's marshall speaker cabinet and on 1 it was insanely loud and sounded awesome. I was going to pay $375 for the guitar and was told that I was being made a deal for the amp @$175.. I was told that the amp was like 300 or so brand new. How true is this? Any opinions would be great! Thanks! :mrgreen:

Hi rmeese5,

Looks like a brand new Frontman 25R sells for less than $100, the older model was likely the same. Not much difference between older and newer models, just cosmetic.

The amp is a Frontman 25R. it sells new for $99.99. I don't know why dealers insist on calling the current Frontman 25R a "Series II". Fender does not call it that nor is there anything on the amp to call it "Series II". This is the current amp:

The amp has been out in its current form since 2001.

It does not have an "Aux Out", it has an "Aux In" to connect a CD/MP3 player or drum machine.
