Your Fender’s Prosonic™ professional tube

amplifiers feature welded, all-steel chassis

capable of handling the most extre m e

conditions. Covered in genuine Tolex for long

life and lasting good looks, our cabinets are

c o n s t r ucted from premium, hand-selected

birch/maple plywood. Only the most road-

worthy components are used in the all-tube

circuitry. Fender's all-tube reverb adds depth

and tone that has kept guitarists smiling for

generations.

The All-Tube Prosonic is available in 2 models,

the two 10-inch speaker combo with Reverb and

the Prosonic Head amplifier. Both versions

f e a t u re a 3-way bias/rectifier switch allowing the

player a choice between class A cathode bias,

class AB grid bias, as well as the sounds of both

tube and solid state rectifiers. The Prosonic is

rated at 60 Watts R.M.S. and includes among its

many features two gain controls. Gain 1

functions as a standard gain stage whereas Gain

2 functions similar to a compre s s o r, adding

sustain while reducing “harshness” when the

volume is incre a s e d .

Equipped with 2 channels, the Prosonic c o m b o

o ffers the flexibility of accessing each channel

and the reverb effect from the front panel or the

included two-button footswitch. The Pro s o n i c

head also offers the flexibility of accessing each

channel from the front panel or the included one-

button footswitch.

1. INPUTS - Input for the your guitar or other

instrument.

2. INPUT 2 - A lower sensitivity (-3dB) input than

INPUT 1.

3. NORMAL/DRIVE - This switch selects between

the NORMAL and DRIVE channels. This switch is

disabled and when the footswitch is plugged

into to the unit.

4. VOLUME - Controls the volume level of the

normal channel.

5. GAIN 1 - Primary gain adjustment

(distortion/sustain) for the DRIVE channel.

6. LED - Indicates operation of the DRIVE channel.

7. GAIN 2 - Secondary gain adjustment for the

DRIVE channel. Acts much like a compressor at

higher settings.

8. TREBLE - Adjusts the high-frequency level.

9. BASS - Adjusts the low-frequency level.

10. MID - Adjusts the middle-frequency level.

11. MASTER - Adjusts the volume level of the DRIVE

channel.

12. REVERB (Combo units only) - Adjusts the reverb

effect level on both channels. Switch ON/OFF

the reverb effect with the footswitch.

13. PILOT JEWEL - Illuminates when the Prosonic is

switched ON and receiving power unless the

lamp has failed. (To replace the lamp, unplug the

amplifier, unscrew the green jewel and replace

the lamp with type T47 bulb.

Prosonic Tube Replacement

• Tubes must be replaced ONLY with the same type as specified on the tube chart inside the cabinet. To check for

tube wear, replace the set in your amp with your spare new tubes as follows:

-First replace the OUTPUT tubes in the amplifier and listen for any improvement.

-Next, re-insert the original output tubes and replace the PRE-AMP tubes and listen for improvement.

-Finally, try replacing BOTH the OUTPUT and PRE-AMP tubes and listen for improvement.

-If any combination of tube replacements is a noticeable improvement, reset the amp to that configuration and buy

another set of replacement tubes as your spare.

1. LINE CORD - Connect the power line cord to a

g rounded AC receptacle in accordance with the

voltage and frequency ratings as listed on the rear

panel of the Prosonic amplifier.

2. POWER SWITCH - Turns the AC power on and off.

3. FUSE - Located in the AC supply of the amplifier, the

fuse helps protect the unit from electrical fault or tube

failure. Replace a failed fuse with the same type and

rating. If the amplifier repeatedly blows fuses, take it

to an authorized Fender service center.

4. S TANDBY SWITCH - Switches the unit between

operate and stand-by modes when the power switch is

ON. In stand-by mode, no sound will be heard from the

amplifier but power is still supplied to the tube

filaments keeping them warm and the unit ready to

play. Use this switch during short breaks to increase

tube life. Wait at least 50 seconds after the power

switch is on before putting the unit into the standby

mode.

5. RECTIFIER/BIAS SWITCH - Allows for the selection of

rectifier sounds and bias classes to best suit your

playing style (experiment to find a preferred setting).

The (1) TUBE A setting at low volume sounds much like

the (2) TUBE AB2and (3) S.S. “solid state” AB2

settings at high volume.

6. IMPEDANCE SWITCH (Head only) - Sets the output

impedance of the amplifier to match the speaker

impedance for maximum power and tube life.

7. SPEAKER (Combo), SPEAKER 1 (Head) - Primary

output jack for connection to speakers. A speaker

must always be connected at this jack for the unit to be

heard.

8. EXTERNAL SPEAKER (Combo), SPEAKER 2(Head) -

Output jack for connection to an external speaker.

ONLY use in conjunction with the main speaker jack.

Using this jack on the Combo automatically switches

the amplifier impedance to 8Ω.

9. FOOTSWITCH - Jack for connection to the included

footswitch. The footswitch allows remote switching

between channels as well as ON/OFF switching of the

REVERB effect on the combo unit only.

10.EFFECTS RETURN - Connect cord from extern a l

effects devices at this input jack. Inserting a plug at

this jack automatically disconnects the unit’s internal

connection from the pre-amp to the power amp.

11.EFFECTS SEND - Connect cord to external effects

devices at this output jack. This jack can also be used

as a line out.
