RECOMMENDED — not owned
The Fender Frontman 20G has Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, and Master (no presence or onboard reverb), so presence and reverb are omitted. Because the original Mesa Dual Rectifier produces thick, low-mid saturated modern metal crunch, we engage the 20G's Drive channel at Gain 7 with scooped mids (3) and boosted bass/treble to mimic the nu-metal scoop. An 8-inch solid-state combo will sound smaller and more raspy than the massive studio wall of Rectifiers, so adding a dedicated high-gain preamp or distortion pedal is the best eventual upgrade.
