The Fender Frontman 10G faceplate features only Gain, Volume, Bass, and Treble (no mid, presence, or reverb controls). Lenny Santos recorded the iconic requinto part using a bright, percussive electro-acoustic thinbody direct into a pristine clean platform; keep the Frontman 10G on the Clean channel with Gain low (around 2) to eliminate all clipping. Rolling Bass down to 3 and pushing Treble up to 8 compensates for the Frontman's small 6-inch speaker while replicating the sharp, snappy attack of the original bachata pick strike.
