    I just bought a Fender LT25, and I've been playing for 45 years! I'm playing in a small folk combo atm and I needed something small & light, as I have chronic ankle & knee problems. This amp is perfect and sounds great! I also play in a classic rock tribute band and I might get the GT40 for that project: that's how impressed I am with it. Weight is a huge issue for me now: the days of lifting heavy tube amps are over. These little amps sound great, the modelling is superb and the effects are top class. Thank you Fender!

      they often come bundled with a guitar which they've done for years.
      but if your over 18, i would say this could be considered a beginners amp for a couple reasons. the main reason is the digital part of it,
      it's not something that would take too long to figure out, but if your someone fairly new to guitar, the last thing you wanna be doing is fiddle around with different settings. now on the flipside, it is cool they tried to be creative with this amp. i think an alternative to this amp is the Fender Champion 20 or 40, there basically similar price, but it didn't have that digital thing.
      still for $150 bucks, whether your new to playing or you just need something small but better than the Fender Frontman 10G, i think this is a much better choice. no parent i know is gonna spend $150 on a amp for a kid,
      but for an adult like us, i think the price is fair.

    What many people don't realize is that most of the time, these are amplifiers that are initially intended for beginners. However, almost all of them come equipped with a headphone jack. When I connect my JBL PartyBox 310 to my fender amp, it sounds exceptionally good, even surpassing my tube amps. This is because, like everything in music, the sound quality is largely derived from your speakers and sound system.
    Nowadays, amp modeling sounds very good, so that's not where the issue lies. These amplifiers typically have a headphone jack which is more than sufficient for connecting anything you want, as long as it's of good quality.
    I am even considering getting rid of my tube amps because they are much heavier and, in the end, don't sound as good.

      I love how every channel, approaches all demos of any amp from $100-$3000 as if they are above it with something else, and then proceed to only play that generic shit you hear the same stranger play, in literally every Guitar Center ever. Nevermind showing it's versatility or lack of. Only play stuff that shows off how boring it can sound. Has anyone on YT posted how hard you can drive this $150 amp before it overheats? Will someone play a single angry riff? No? Only uninspired cluster-puckery?
      It's only for novice musicians...not for anyone whom's't've'd not wanna carry a 6x tube brick over yonder to play a casual 2hrs when it makes sense? Oh, okay... Where do we (novice to total Chad) find actual sound tests tho? This is a lot of video with mucho relatable talky, for not hearing what the amp does really. Someone please totally melt this amp, and explain why recording requires 38x the cash than digital understanding. Thanks fam.

      @@wurshraggwurshington2284 Yeah, I have this amp and I feel like "professional" musicians do this to anything moreso on the "consumer" end of music-gear and it's frankly not helpful. Like, I get it, if you're a self-described "serious" musician than you'd probably want to spend the money on studio gear that sounds amazing, and that's honestly fine, that's why the high end exists. But you're not a "beginner" or a "child" just because you don't have 1500 to spend on a studio amp and 25 pedals for your "practice" setup, and acting like amps that are cheaper aren't "viable" for "real" purposes is frankly stupid. I see no reason why a chart-topping hit couldn't be created with this sub-150 amplifier and a squier 140$ guitar.

    I'd be torn on this and the Katana for a beginner. To me it all comes down to "Does the player have a computer and know how to use it?". The Mustangs have more control options available _on the amp_ when they are completely on their own (the katana needs to be hooked to a computer for most of its vast options). However, the Katana amps have easier controls for the most used options. Amp type, Reverb, OD, Delay, and a couple FX, have default knobs, whereas on the Mustang you have to go through the tiny-screen menus that I tend to hate. The Mustang also has a 3.5mm headphone out which I think is the much better choice since that's what most people use. The Katana uses a 1/4" big jack for headphone out which is fine, but most people will need the little adapter thing for 3.5mm. To me the deciding factor is: "Does the player have a computer and know how to use it?". If they do, I think the Katana is the easy choice. There's SO much you can do with it in the Tone Studio software, with sooo many pedal choices and even signal chain order options. It even has a humbucker/single coil/acoustic converter simulator effect (that I haven't tried yet).
    To me, the Mustang has a little nicer cleans and reverb, which you'd expect from Fender, and the Katana does better high-gain/metal. Plus it has an EQ knob for mids, which is very nice to have especially for metal. You can also drop your backing tracks/songs into the Boss software to play to on the computer (instead of the aux in on the amp that it has), and when you do it that way you even have the ability to pitch it up or down to accommodate your tunings _AND_ speed up/slow down the track for practice.
    I would have LOVED it if Fender and Boss teamed up to make a single amp like this. Like take the Katana design, get Fender to do the cleans and reverbs, let Boss handle the high-gain and bazillion FX/pedals, and sell it under the Fender brand and logo. Maybe have like a "powered by Boss" label or something on it. *EDIT:* or call it the _Fender BOSSbreaker!!_ :D

    • @niclastname
      @niclastname 5 лет назад +2

      25:23 is a perfect example of my point about those tiny menus and the fact that the basic, most common FX don't have dedicated controls on the Mustang. On the Katana, you can do most of the common things you'd want straight from the control knobs without plugging it into the computer to use the fancy interface. That's where I think the Katana's design is so well done. It has a zillion options if you want them, but the front/top panel layout has everything you (most of the time) need, while staying very simple with no little menus to navigate. They're great practice amps just on their own, even if you don't want all the added fancy stuff that it can do. Let me try to explain it like this: The fancy in-depth controls are not an essential part of the amp's basic design and function the same way they are with the Spider and Mustang amps, if that makes sense. You can be perfectly happy with a Katana without ever dipping into that part of its million options, and just keeping it simple with the top-panel controls. I think that's the genius design choice that Boss made.

I'd prefer the Artist MK2 for the front facing controls, "better" speaker, and other options the MK2's have, but the artist is a lot more expensive unfortunately. Like I said though in my long comment: I have a PC and use it a lot, so anytime I play guitar I just open the tone studio to make any adjustments, where I have a million options, and don't even have to ever touch the amp physically to change anything other than Power and Master Volume. I just leave the USB plugged into my PC all the time.

    I'm 44, been playing on and off since I was 24. Had my guitar years before but didn't get serious until later in life. In my thirties it was mainly accustic. When I turned 40 or so I pulled out my old two decade old electric with Ibanez 10watt amp. Then I realized why I put it away. It sounded like shit. Even when playing correctly. The amp (more so than the guitar was crap).
    I wound up using a multi effects pedal for a year until I see this amp in guitar center used for $80. I snatched it up. I fell back in love with playing and have progressed to places I never even bothered to since taking lessons on acoustic a decade prior. My yearn for learning and playing was back.
    I owe a lot of that to this amp. It also pushed me to get a new guitar, then a other and a other. Still don't have a real Fender or anything as the cost is way too high for me to justify($850 for a bottom end version, bah.., Squier epiphone, schecter will have to do for now).
    It isn't til now when I needed another amp for my large den that I gor a bigger amp. I liked this one so much I got it's much bigger brother thr gtx50. Which is an amazing amp. That being said the lt25 is that cut down in a limited easy to use package. I highly recommend it. I still keep mine in my office so I can play a few licks between work calls.

I'm 45 buddy, and though I consider myself beginner/intermediate guitar player, this amp has been very useful to me. also, its budget friendly for people who can't or don't want to buy individual pedals and the big tube amps you professionals use to get the sounds you get. I would recommend this amp to anybody, no matter how old or how much you know. for us who are still learning and can't afford the big ticket items, this is more than enough. some of us are not trying to become full fledged musicians, we just want to have fun and jam along some good songs. this amp and a decent guitar will do.

    Highly recommend this amp. I owned this one and used to own GT40 thinking it is as good as LT25, but boy was I wrong. Other than the fact that GT40 has a bigger speaker and more presets and Bluetooth, it's annoying to use. The power button and the usb hub are on the back which it's not easy for me to use. Even though you have 200 presets and you can replace them using ipad than a laptop, I rarely used more than a few presets I modded. I also noticed the screen or the circuit board has a little delay especially when you use bluetooth so it's a little bit frustrating when you want to go to another preset and you surpassed it. Honestly, I just want a simple amp and play the tone that I want and LT25 does better for me than G40.

    I watch anything you put up as your videos are always informative and very entertaining. I'm a beginner ....ive been one .for over 50 years. A tuner built-in is nice and Bluetooth or any other boutique feature is nice but not required. The amplifiers sound quality is required. However I would prefer a proper amplifier handle instead of a hand hold.

    If you get this amp, make sure you downloaded the firmware and add the extra presets to the amp. The software has 90 or so presets, but you can install up to 60 o the amp. By stock settings it's only 30.

    Thanks for the great and honest review. I've played on about everything over the last 55 yrs minus Dumbles, but never had a practice amp before. My14 yr old daughter has been taking lessons for about 3 yrs on acoustic and is really pretty good. I'm going to give her a PRS Zach Myers I have and want to get her a small practice amp she can take between her mom's house and her dad's house. I have been researching online for small practice amps and had it down to the LT25 or the Positive Grid Spark. After watching your video, I think the LT25 is the better deal. Not as many bells and whistles, but for a 14 yr old , you can plug and play, learn about the effects and amp types without going down the programming rabbit hole. Plus, it's $100 cheaper and a Fender. Keep up the great videos. Been watching them for years. Thanks.

    You're tha man! I appreciate a more in depth look at equipment. It just so happens I am in the market for a small amp I can carry and move around with no issues. 7 buldging discs says no way to my bigger amp. I have been watching for a couple of weeks trying to decide and figure out what to look for. I havent bought new stuff since the 90s (no need) but becoming disabled has suddenly given me too much free time and a very small budget for things to occupy my mind. Thanks for the insight. Very hepful and better than the vast majority on utube,as well as, far better than salesmen who dont know squat.

    @genghisfimpley3516 3 года назад

    To all of those looking to buy - Do it. This is a great amp. However do not use most of the presets. I am a scooped mids metallica kind of guy and the thrash overkill was not it. Try all of the different amp models and mess around with different stomps and effects. Took me a long time but I got a wonderful thrash patch now. I think I am ready for an upgrade but this amp has served me well.

  • @PlanktoniusRex
    @PlanktoniusRex 4 года назад +2

    Great review. I love this little amp. One mention... your comments on the USB are not 100% correct. This is for firmware upgrades and the Fender Tone software input which is crucial to opening this amp up to its full capabilities. Fender has already updated the firmware to GREAT advances since I bought mine.
    For anyone interested, please try this and see what you think. Using the Fender Tone software on your LT25, set a custom preset for yourself that I made which I feel sounds a lot like Chuck Berry on Maybelline and much more of his music. Give some feedback and ideas. I play this through the LT25 via an Epiphone Sheraton Pro II with the switch in the up position and it sure is close to Chuck in my ear. Try any guitar with a Humbucker to test.
    Pedal 1: Metal Gate with the knob at 8 O'clock (very low ~1.4 db)
    Pedal 2: Chorus with knobs from left to right - 10 O'clock, 11 O'clock and 9 O'clock
    Amp: 60's UK Clean with knobs from left to right - 10.5 O'clock, 4 O'clock and 4 O'clock, 1 O'clock and 11 O'clock
    Pedal 3: Empty
    Pedal 4: Plate with knobs from left to right - 11 O'clock, 1 O'clock and 2 O'clock
    Of course keep the LT25 knobs all at 12 O'clock but for the volume where you can set as you please.

    i completely disagree with what you're talking about with the mustang. who cares if it's for beginners? music is music. you can still make some great music with that amp. it's the passion of the musician regardless of what gear he/she has.

    • @Mr.Music376
      @Mr.Music376 Месяц назад

      I agree. I am a very experienced guitarist of 6 years and I just bought this amp and I love it. I have heard several people say that it is a beginner amp and I shouldn’t get it. I don’t get it. I have had it now for a few months and I love it. Plus, does it really make since to give all of those effects to a big? I have been playing guitar for 5 years and all I had before this amp was clean tone and distortion.

    This amp comes with an incredibly user friendly interface wich comes with an incredible amount of pedals that you can use/group together digitally in an unlimited amount of ways, up to 60 saveable presets, you can set up 60 different amps 60 different ways and switch between them digitally at anytime, multiple different amp types that ALL sound different and amazing, MOST of the amp equipment this guy has in that room all comes pre loaded digitally in this one Fender, hes just upset it came out after he bought all that gear.

    @stop736 3 года назад +4

    I’m a 45 year old beginner and a lefty, so my guitar options are somewhat limited.
    I ended up buying a Squire CV ‘50’s Tele with this amp and I think they’re both excellent for what I am doing. I also got the Mustang Micro to use. And I think it is a nice set up for a beginner. That Mustang Micro should be in every guitar package that Fender puts out if you ask me. You get a lot from that little $100 amp!
    Nice review though. I’d like to know if pedals would be worth trying with this amp though, I haven’t seen it used that way before so I am curious how that works.
    I have a lot to learn about everything, I know that. And that is what makes this all really exciting for me personally. Knowing that there’s so much more that I’ll be able to learn one day keeps me at it. I only wish I started sooner.

  • @niclastname

    I would have LOVED it if Fender and Boss teamed up to make a single amp like this. Like take the Katana design, get Fender to do the cleans and reverbs, let Boss handle the high-gain and bazillion FX/pedals, and sell it under the Fender brand and logo. Maybe have like a "powered by Boss" label or something on it. Call it the _Fender BOSSbreaker!!_ :D

  • @SingPsalms

    People, just because something is called “beginner” doesn't mean it's not good enough for everyone else, calm down. It's a great little amp and it's perfect for beginners because of the ease of use. I have one, I love it. I keep it hooked up to my computer, I'm stuck in an apartment so I usually plug in headphones, but it does get low enough especially if you are directly in front and facing the Amp.

    FYI if you don't have a footswitch, you can PROBABLY plug in an instrument cable and touch tip to sleeve and it'll operate the footswitch option on the amp, as if you were hitting the switch. It works this way with the older Mustangs so I'm betting Fender is still using the same setup in these. No reason to make it more complicated when it doesn't need to be.
    I was going to buy one of these in 2020. Then I found the $249 Laney Cub 12R aka Stage Right 15w 1x12" combo with a different type of reverb from Monoprice and decided that I wanted tubes more than options. I'm SO GLAD I did. It's an inexpensive amplifier but it's also a great amplifier. Especially for someone like me that doesn't gig or anything.
