Fender Amp Can
July 11, 1997
Did you ever come across a player who wished he or she could plug in a
guitar anytime and anywhere? Now there's a solution to that dilemma with
Fender's new Amp Can -- a battery-powered, portable amplifier in a compact
housing inspired by a paint can.
"As someone who has always enjoyed the great outdoors, the Amp Can
allows me to pursue my two favorite pastimes -- music and camping,"
enthused Shane Nicholas, Fender amp product specialist. "I've used it to jam
around the pool and to scare Bambi in the great outdoors with my Stevie Ray
Vaughan impersonations. It lets me take my Tele® wherever I go. I know I'm not
the only musician who wants to play electric in the wilderness."
The Amp Can boasts 20 watts of raw power, two fully independent
channels (guitar and line/mic), push-button distortion, a rechargeable Gel-Cel
battery, a handle that can be used as a "tip stand" for aiming sound, rugged
PVC-cylinder housing, a specially designed Fender 6-inch speaker and true
Fender quality. It's also safe to use near water. U.S. suggested retail price is
$249.99. For more information, visit their web site at www.fender.com. |
