Fender ProSonic Black/Silver Vintage 1995-2001

Moe's Guitars: If we wouldn't play it, we wouldn't sell it; it's that simple.

Some things are just waaaay ahead of their time and this Fender Amp is one of them. This amp will do everything that a Twin Reverb will do and then go a few rounds with any Laney, Marshall or Mesa. Tell ya what, it just might come out the winner.

Designed for the Fender Custom Shop by Bruce Zinky of Pigtronix and other companies. The amplifier is 100% original in perfect working condition in from its original owner. No foot switch is present, but can be purchased on line. The ProSonic was manufactured from 1995 - 2001.

The Fender Prosonic guitar amplifier was produced by Fender Musical Instruments from 1996 to 2002. Available in head and combo versions, the Prosonic featured several departures in design from traditional Fender amplifiers such as the Bassman, Twin Reverb, and Deluxe Reverb. Designed by Bruce Zinky as a project for the Fender Custom Shop, the amplifier later had a non-Custom Shop production run at the Fender facilities in Corona, California. (Most contemporary Fender amplifiers are produced in Mexico.) It was initially priced to compete with buyers in the so-called boutique amplifier market who were seeking more distortion than any previous Fender had ever offered. It is believed that high list prices, and deviations from established Fender amplifier designs, swayed many buyers away from the Prosonic. It developed a cult following among serious guitarists, aided by the rise of musician-centric Internet communities.

The Prosonic introduced several features that had previously been seldom, or never before, seen in Fender amplifiers. Its most unusual feature is the switchable rectifier and power amplifier bias scheme, allowing on-the-fly changes of operating mode and output power (as well as subjective tonal differences). This feature, originally found on Randall Smith's Mesa Boogie amplifiers, allows the Prosonic to achieve a versatility very rarely seen from mass-market instrument manufacturers. The Prognostic's rear-mounted RECTIFIER/BIAS switch lets the user select from the following three options:
Solid-state rectification with fixed bias (marked "S.S. AB2"). Listed at 60 watts R.M.S
Tube rectification with fixed bias (marked "AB2"). Listed at 50 watts R.M.S.
Tube rectification with cathode bias (marked "A"). Listed at 30 watts R.M.S.
