I have a fender frontman 212r amp. Can someone share the tone settings for clean, country rock and classic rock sound. Thanks

Hey LoboRascal,
That has a lot to do with the guitar, let us know what guitar you're using.

Hey LoboRascal,
This is just a start setting, and it can be adjusted to your preferences. I would set the lows (bass) at about half way. The mids at just a little more than half, and the highs (treble) at a little less than half to start off. I wouldn't add much reverb yet, so put it at about 2 to start.

Then check it out and see how you like the sound, if you notice that it sounds piercing on the unwound strings, pull the highs back some. If you notice that the other strings sound muffled, bring up the mids, and drop the lows a little. If you want a more beefy tone, you may have to turn the lows up some, especially since teles are known for high end. If you're using the bridge pickup, you'll get more high end, so you'll have to adjust it the way you want it.

It's really up to you, because you know how you want the guitar to sound. If you want clean country, you'll probably eventually want to add a compressor pedal. Don't be afraid to just play around with the settings, it can't hurt anything. Let me know how it goes, and I'll help you any way I can.
