| Princeton Chorus DSP |
July 24, 1999
1999 will prove to be a momentous year for Fender Amplifiers,
as it will unveil eight all new amplifiers at this summer's NAMM convention
in Nashville, Tennessee. Award winning technology, state-of-the-art electronics,
and a whole lot of singular Fender magic will be the culmination of the
over five years of research and development that have gone into these
amplifiers.
Fender Princeton® Chorus DSP
Great amplifiers not only sound fantastic, they have a responsive feel
as well. Touch sensitive dynamics that respond to the inflections in your
playing let your identity shine through. This maxim is the essence of
Fender's new Princeton Chorus DSP amplifiers.
Fender's remarkable on-board Digital Signal Processor (DSP) teams up
with the award winning Princeton Stereo Chorus amplifier. The pairing
of the two has created an incredibly versatile, expressive, and fun guitar
amplifier. Blend the Princeton's killer stereo tone with a variety of
room, hall and plate reverbs, delays, chorus, flanges and more, and you
have a possibility of over 4,000 different effect combinations ... right
there on one amplifier!
Perfect for EFX lovers and home recording enthusiasts, the introduction
of the new Princeton Chorus DSP is sure to set the digital revolution
on its ear. The DSP has two 10" Fender Special Design speakers with
an output of 2 x 25 Watts stereo. Other features on the DSP include: operation
- normal and drive; 16 digital reverbs and delays with separate level
and bypass, 16 digital modulation EFX with separate level and bypass;
and 16 selectable modulation rate options. Standard controls on the DSP
include: volume; global EQ = treble; mid; bass; drive select; gain; drive
volume; and limiter & presence. Also included is a 3 button footswitch
that controls the channel selection, reverb/delay defeat and the modulation
defeat. The DSP's dimensions are: 17.5"H x 22.5"W x 10.5"

Fender Acoustasonic Pro
Fender rounds out its Acoustasonic family with the introduction of the
new Acoustasonic Pro. With the Acoustasonic Junior and the award-winning
Acoustasonic SFX, Fender's Acoustasonic Pro will join the family that
is unlike any other "acoustic" amplifier line, in that all three
are true acoustic amps and not modified PA's.

stereo power, and 99 sophisticated digital multi-effect presets voiced
at its in-house digital lab. Its Dual Processing allows for separate effect
configurations to be simultaneously played through each channel. Some

flange; and reverb halls, plates and rooms . . . just to name a few. Four
