thx for the tips man. i've been using the Zoom606 on my 25 watt fender for a while now. and i gotta admit the effects on the pedal are intersting, but i really love fender distortion more than anything i can get out of the pedal. same with peavey and marshall. they all have awesome quality sound and great gain etc. i love my Fender Frontman, it's just not loud enough thats all. I was talking to a friend recently though. he said he's spending $250 to built his own amp from the ground up. heres the interesting part: using car stereo equipment. he's got 760 watts piling up and it cost that little. in theory, i could hook up that much power to the brain of my Fender Frontman and have myself a 'new' loud as sh*t ampwith the same old fender sound, right? or no? anyone have experience with something like that?
