Bronco Owner’s Manual
The Fender BRONCO amplifier is a unique combination of radical
new distortion sounds and time tested Classic Fender sounds,
packaged together in a solid-state configuration which is both easy
to use and inherently reliable.

based on a radically underdamped design that interacts with the
speaker in much the same way as a tube amplifier does, producing
sparkle and punch with an increase in apparent loudness and
power that defies comparison to other similarly rated units. Also
included is a sophisticated, transparent protection scheme
designed to prevent amplifier failure due to bad speaker cords or
incorrectly connected speaker jacks.

The BRONCO amplifier features the standard complement of
VOLUME, TREBLE, MIDDLE, and BASS controls with separate GAIN
and VOLUME controls for the DRIVE channel. The almost unlimited
combination of the gain and tone controls will vary your sound
from smooth and bluesy to driving rock or all the way to “12” for
the gnarliest shred imaginable (Yes, the knobs go to “12”!).

The BRONCO’s compact size, great tone, versatile features, and all
around handsome appearance make it the perfect amplifier for
practice, backstage warm-up, and home recording.

The external speaker jack automatically mutes the internal speaker
while driving any external 8 ohm enclosure. Try plugging into a
4-12 cabinet and watch the BRONCO take on an entirely new
attitude! The HEADPHONE jack automatically mutes the speaker
while driving stereo or mono headphones or may be used as a low
level line out for direct connection to recording equipment.

The selection of a Fender amplifier will reward you with years of
quality performance and a wide range of musical sounds. The built
in quality of a Fender amplifier is the result of over four decades of
dedication in the combined skills of research and development by
our engineers and musicians.
That is why we proudly say...FENDER, The Sound That Creates
Legends.

Last but definitely not least, the BRONCO packs a new power amp

A.

INPUT — A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in
connection for instruments.

H.

BASS — Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the low
frequency range.

B.

NORMAL VOLUME — Adjusts the overall loudness of the
Normal Channel.

I.

POWER INDICATOR –– When this indicator is illuminated the
Bronco is receiving AC power.

C.

GAIN — Adjusts the amount of preamp amplification in the
Drive Channel. Cleaner sound is achieved at lower gain
settings; high gain settings will produce more sustain and
distortion. This control works in conjunction with the DRIVE
VOLUME control (item E) to set the overall loudness of the
Drive Channel.

J.

POWER SWITCH — This switch turns the AC power ON and
OFF. When the switch is OFF the amplifier is completely shut
down.

K.

HEADPHONES — This jack provides an output to standard
stereo or mono headphones for private listening. NOTE: Use
of this jack automatically disables the speaker. CAUTION:
Prolonged listening at high levels may be hazardous to your
hearing! This jack can also be used as an unbalanced line
output by using either a stereo or mono 1/4 inch phone plug
connection.

L.

EXTERNAL SPEAKER –– This jack provides an output to an
external speaker enclosure. The enclosure must have a
minimum impedance of 8Ω. Use of this jack automatically
disables the internal speaker. DO NOT PLUG HEAD
PHONES IN HERE.

D.

DRIVE SELECT — Activates the Drive Channel.

E.

DRIVE VOLUME — Adjusts the overall loudness of the Drive
Channel.

F.

TREBLE — Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the high
frequency range.

G.

MIDDLE — Adjusts the overall tone quality without affecting
the signal level. High MIDDLE settings will provide emphasis
in the midrange frequencies whereas a lower setting will
notch the midrange to produce sounds characteristic of most
“metal” music.

8Ω MIN. EXT.
SPEAKER

LINE CORD –– This amplifier is equipped with a grounding type
supply cord to reduce the possibility of shock hazard. Be sure to
connect it to a grounded receptacle. DO NOT ALTER THE AC
PLUG.
