Your new Fender®Deco Tone®is a professional
tube amplifier with that classic, late-night blues
tone found nowhere else but in a Fender. Its
compact size makes it ideal for rehearsal,
backstage warm-up, and studio work.

The Deco Tone’s control panel is located on the
top of the amplifier for easy access and the
“chicken-head” knobs indicate all your control
settings at a glance. Volume, Treble, Bass,
Middle, Master, “FAT,” and Reverb are all that’s
needed to get sounds from vintage clean to
vicious growl from this versatile amp.

The Fender Special Design 12” speaker is
connected through a standard 1/4” jack
allowing the choice of connecting your amp to
the internal speaker or an external 8–ohm
speaker cabinet.

The “FAT” switch provides additional pre­amplifier boost and adds “Fender American
Tube” warm distortion and can be activated
from either the top panel or the optional
footswitch.

The quality built into Fender amplifiers is the
result of over 50 years of dedication combined
with the experience that our engineers and
countless musicians have gained both in
recording studios and performing on the road.

That is why we proudly say...
FENDER, The Sound That Creates Legends.
