Fender Tone Master Twin Reverb Gitarre Amplifier Bedienungsanleitung

1. Einführung und Endeview

The Fender Tone Master Twin Reverb amplifier faithfully models the circuitry and 85-watt power output of an original Twin tube amp using advanced digital processing. It features a high-performance 200-watt digital power amp to achieve the headroom and dynamic range of a vintage Twin tube amp. Equipped with two Jensen N-12K neodymium speakers and housed in a resonant pine cabinet, this amplifier delivers authentic Twin Reverb tone and volume at approximately half the weight of an all-tube original. Front panel controls provide a playing experience identical to the tube version, including Fender's renowned reverb and tremolo effects. Rear panel features offer modern convenience, such as an output power selector, balanced XLR line output with Impulse Response (IR) cabinet simulations, a mute switch for silent use, and a USB port for firmware updates.
