PROSONIC™ REFERENCE AND OWNER'S MANUAL 
INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Fender Prosonic Professional Tube Amplifier. The Prosonic is a unique amplifier

offering endless possibilities and numerous features, setting it apart from any other amplifier.  Each Prosonic amplifier is

individually hand-crafted from the finest components at our Fender amplifier factory in Lake Oswego, Oregon, USA.  

The All-Tube Prosonic is available in 2 models, the  2-10”  speaker Combo with Reverb and the Prosonic Head amplifier.

Both versions feature a 3-way bias/rectifier switch, allowing the player a choice between class A cathode bias, class AB

grid bias, as well as the sounds of both tube and solid state rectifiers.  The Prosonic is rated at 60 Watts R.M.S. and

includes, among its many features, 2 gain controls. Gain 1 functions as a standard gain stage whereas Gain 2 functions

similar to a compressor, adding sustain while reducing “Edge” when the volume is increased.  This channel produces

great high gain sound at any volume - from bedroom to stadium.

The Prosonic combo is designed for the guitarist who requires a portable, medium powered amplifier with reverb capable of

producing tones ranging from the crystal clean to a super gain crunch. Equipped with 2 channels, the Prosonic combo

offers the flexibility of accessing each channel via the front panel A/B switch or the two button footswitch (provided).

The Prosonic head is designed for the guitarist who requires a medium Wattage head with a wide variety of great tones.

Like the Prosonic combo, the Prosonic head features 2 channels with the flexibility of accessing each channel via the front

panel A/B switch or the footswitch (also enclosed).

In order to thoroughly understand the operation, features and functions of your amplifier, please read and refer, as need-

ed, to this operation manual.  By doing so, your amplifier is sure to provide you with years of trouble-free music making

and maximum playing enjoyment.
