A Message from the Chairman:
Since 1946, Fender has realized the importance of your amplifier. You see, your amplifier is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. It is a finely tuned musical instrument. And like any fine musical instru­ment, it must be constructed with special care and attention to detail.
At Fender, we know what building guitar amplifiers is all about. For over half a century, we have been designing and producing some of the world’s best amplifiers, helping shape the face of music. In fact, many of the world’s most classic and best sounding amplifiers proudly wear the Fender name.
Whether you are after that classic Fender tone, a clean crisp sound for your keyboard or bass, or the raw driving power of modern guitar distor­tion, your decision to purchase a Fender amplifier is one you will appreci­ate with each passing note for years to come.
Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt thank you,
