I own among other amps both the Roland Cube 60 and an older relative of the Fender Frontman 65, the Deluxe 112+.

I'd say the Cube 60 is much the more versatile of the two, having a choice of terrific clean voices ("JC Clean" with a "bright" button, plus "Black Panel") as well as an acoustic simulator and a number of other digitally modelled and very convincing voices. It has built-in digital delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser and tremolo, all of which are very good if a little limited in their adjustability. The three-band EQ plus presence control are highly effective. There is an extension speaker jack but it mutes the internal speaker. However, the amp is easily loud enough to gig with and can be slaved up through the PA via its voiced line out socket if even more volume is required. But it also sounds great at living-room volumes.

I can't comment on the Frontman 65 directly, but unlike the Roland or the older Deluxe 112+ it only has 2-band EQ on the clean channel, which is however likely to sound nice, full and "Fenderish" if the older model's anything to go by. I've never been a fan of the overdriven side of Fender amps in general, so you'd have to make your own mind up about that aspect of it.

I've seen a number of Cube 60s (including my own, of course) being used by pro guys on gigs but not many SS Fender amps of any type. In the end it's a question of checking out both models and seeing which suits you better. Me, I'd have the Roland.
