Hi all.
For decades i thought the popular Fender Frontman 15G and 15R (silver cloth, angled panel) was just the same as my Fender Frontman Amp (15W, black metalic grill, square front).
But I recently came to realise they have different model ID's: Type 241 and Type 495.

The schematic I got with my Type 241, however says Frontman 15R.

Can anyone tell me if both circuits are the same?.
I saw some dudes on Youtube with those Type 495 getting a way better sound than my Type 241.
Maybe it's easy to achieve that with some mods...
