Im buying a new american standard in a couple of months.

I have been looking at a couple of amps to choose from but i cant decide:

Fender frontman 212R

Fender frontman 65R

which one do you recomend?
I play a bit of everything.

I just need an amp thats loud enough for a few small gigs and for home practice.

I can't tell you how much more happy you would be with a small tube amp. Look at the blues jr. or the Crate V1512. Both are great little amps.

I went and tried the blues junior and the frontman amp.
They were both brilliant and sounded great. But you cant go wrong with a tube amp.The blues junior was an awesome amp. The tubes really give it a nice vintage sound. The 65R was also pretty good because it has a drive button. But i can always just buy a distortion pedal and plug it into the blues junior amp.
I also have my dads 1979 twin reverb. thats a very cool amp.
we took out the original speakers and put 2 celestion vintage 30's in.
They sound awesome!!
But anyway thanks
i like both amps.
