RECOMMENDED — not currently owned
The Frontman 10G has only gain, bass, and treble controls with no mid or presence knobs. Because you do not own a fuzz pedal, engage the amp's built-in Overdrive channel with gain at 6 to supply the heavy crunch today without totally blowing out the 6-inch speaker. Clean verse: disengage the OD Select button and roll guitar volume back to 7.
