Wow! A lot of responses. I have one question as people talk about the fender preamp. Where is this located because there is a metal cover in the cabinet area that has 2 input spots with a red cable and a white one like you use for a tv. Also, does anyone exactly know what the fender speakers are based off of in this model? I have looked at weber Chicago 12 ceramic speakers that look nice. What is more important, speakers or preamp? What would the preamp plug into? Thanks for answering all the questions1

I intend to play mostly blues, rock, classic rock. I still want to have some great cleans for playing funk and melodic styles (Even Some Country ). I have all sorts of genres I want to play. So would the preamp do anything because my pedals I have (Sd 1, ds 1, rp155, and crybaby wah {Not in that order}). Would it help? I also checked into the speakers, and I dont think I like the vintage 30s as much but I sent Weber an email. Are there any speakers that would fit my Specs needed to fit my amp to work? I am new to the whole matching a speaker to an amp

Hey Everyone,

           I have been playing with a avri 52 tele through my fender frontman 212r 100watt 2x12 amplifier. This amp is now having terrible tone and the speakers sound terrible at loud sounds. The Distortion is only good for death metal. Does anyone know what speakers would fit and work well with this amp (I play classic rock, rock, BLUES, funk, and I would like some great clean sounds)? Also, does the amp have anything else that could help the tone? Thanks!
