RECOMMENDED — not currently owned
The Frontman 10G has only Gain, Bass, Treble, and an OD switch (no Mid, Presence, or Reverb knobs). Engage the OD switch and keep gain around 6 to push the small solid-state circuit without farting out the 6-inch speaker. Dialing treble to 6 and rolling guitar tone to 8 prevents your Strat's bridge single-coil from sounding overly piercing compared to Will Swan's thicker humbucker tone. Clean chords in the breakdown: turn the OD button off on the Frontman 10G and switch to the neck+middle position.
