BXR 60 Owner’s Manual
Congratulations on your purchase of the Fender BXR 60 Bass
amplifier. The Fender BXR 60 is the most recent effort in stateof-the-art bass amplifier technology, and is a member of the
FENDER BXR series. The design of the BXR 60 was carried out
with the aid of some of today's best bass players, and
represents years of thought and consideration in determining
features and specifications. The features included in the BXR
60 will provide a forum for almost every conceivable playing
style, from "traditional" to "contemporary", and those yet to
come.
The preamp section of the BXR 60 features two inputs of
differing sensitivities, allowing for the use of a wide variety of
input sources and levels. A MID NOTCH button is provided to
enhance the mid frequency response. The 4-band EQ allows
for up to 12 decibels of boost or cut in 4 bands between 80
Hz and 6KHz. The PREAMP OUT & POWER AMP IN jacks
can be used as an effects loop or send and return points while
slaving multiple amps together. A HEADPHONE jack
automatically mutes the speaker while driving stereo headphones for private practice sessions. The quasi- balanced
LINE OUT jack is used for "hum free" direct connection to
recording and sound reinforcement equipment.
The rugged power amplifier is designed to give years of
reliable service under all conditions. It is equipped with our
exclusive DELTACOMP™ adaptive compressor system. With
DELTACOMP™, it is practically impossible to clip (distort) the
power amplifier. The apparent release time of the compressor
is short, yet distortion at low frequencies is kept to a minimum.
The BXR 60's power amp drives a heavy duty twelve inch
Fender Special Design loudspeaker.
The selection of a Fender amplifier will reward you with years
of quality performance and a wide range of musical sounds.
This manual is designed to familiarize you with the equipment
and to acquaint you with its many features. Please read it
carefully so you will benefit from all the features as soon as
you start using the amplifier.
The built in quality of a Fender amplifier is the result of over
four decades of dedication, and the combined skills of
research and development by our engineers and musicians.
That is why we proudly say FENDER,
Legends

BXR 60 Front Panel Functions
The front panel contains all items necessary for system
operation and observation. Please read this section of the
manual carefully to make sure you understand all the
operational features for your new FENDER BXR 60 bass
amplifier.
A. INPUT 1 - A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in
connection for instruments. This input can handle as
much as 2.5 volts R.M.S., and should be used with most
instruments.
B. INPUT 2 - Plug-in connection for instruments. This input
is recommended for basses with active pickups, and
can handle as much as 5 volts R.M.S..
C. MID NOTCH switch - removes midrange, making the
amp sound “punchy”. This switch is good for “thump
and pluck” playing.
D. VOLUME control - adjusts the overall loudness of the
amplifier.
E. EQUALIZER - allows adjustment of the tonal
characteristics of the amplifier. Each control provides a
12 dB boost or cut to the low, low mid, high mid, and
high frequency ranges.
F. TAPE IN - Plug-in connection for any line level (500mV)
stereo or mono signal. This signal is mixed into the
power amp along with the instrument signal from the
preamp. It has fixed gain and is unaffected by any of
the front panel controls; however the signal will be
affected by any device inserted between the PREAMP
OUT (item G) and the POWER AMP IN (item H). It is
useful for patching in a CD or tape player, rhythm
machine or other signal source to be used as an
accompaniment for practice or performance. The output
level control of the external signal source is used to
control its own volume while the front panel VOLUME
(item D) control is used for the instrument in order to
obtain a balance.
