Since 1946, Fender realized the importance of your amplifier. You see, your amplifier is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. Your amplifier is a musical instrument. And like any fine musical instrument, it should be treated 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 have proudly worn the Fender name.

Whether you're after that classic Fender tone, a clean crisp sound for your Bass or Keyboard or the raw driving power of modern 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,

Roc Pro 700 REFERENCE AND OWNER'S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Roc Pro Tube-Driven Hybrid Amplifier, a melding of Fender’s distinctive Tube -Tone and cutting edge Standard Series technology. Designed for today’s innovative guitarists, our Roc Pro amplifiers have what it takes to define your sound.

The Roc Pro 700 you now have in your possession is an amplifier of incredible versatility and enduring reliability.

Read through this manual and familiarize yourself with the Roc Pro’s many features, then experiment! Take the time to uncover the broad spectrum of tone colors available via the front panel’s EQ and GAIN controls. And don’t forget the VOLUME and TONE controls on your guitar! An inherent feature of the Roc Pro's Hybrid tube design is its sensitivity to subtle changes in the input signal level. Dial in a crunch rhythm tone with your guitar’s volume on 10, then slowly roll off the volume and listen to the cleansing effect. Change your pick attack from light to heavy, push, pull, thump and pump your axe, your Roc Pro will respond to every nuance of your playing!

•All Roc Pro amplifiers use a real 12AX7 / ECC83 preamp tube in their TUBE DRIVE channel to generate a stunning array of Fender tones from Vintage Overdrive to Sonic Explosion.

•Select the NORMAL channel and dial up ultra clean… fat and funky… power crunch… And everything in between.

FEATURES: Roc Pro 700

70 Watts into 8 ohms, 1-12” Fender Special Design Speaker, Dual Selectable channels (Normal and Tube Drive) 12AX7 / ECC83 preamp tube, Variable EFX loop, Line Out, 2-Button footswitch (Channel Select and Reverb), Genuine Black Tolex and Rugged Metal Speaker Grill.
