FENDER® INTRODUCES NEW ACOUSTASONIC™ COMBO AMPS

The world’s greatest acoustic guitar amps are now lighter, louder and more fully featured

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.  (Aug. 4,  2011) — Fender is proud to introduce new additions to the top-selling  Acoustasonic amp series. With new tonal innovations and exciting  features, the new Acoustasonic 100 Combo and Acoustasonic 150 Combo amps are now lighter, louder and more fully-featured than their predecessors.

The Acoustasonic 100 and Acoustasonic 150 Combo amps are perfect for the  acoustic guitarist who needs a light, loud, versatile and flexible amp.  These amplification masterpieces allow for a pristine and  natural-sounding reproduction of electric-acoustic guitar. 

Both amps are equipped with an all-new Voicing control that lets any  guitar simulate the tonality of parlor, dreadnought and jumbo acoustics,  expanding the sonic horizon of the instrument. For tonal purists,  Voicing can also be turned off for pure amp output response.

This new, versatile Voicing control feature also supports acoustic  players who double on electric guitar. It includes Blackface™, tweed and  British amp settings, which makes a second amp just for electric guitar  unnecessary.

The new ultra-efficient Acoustic 100 Combo, 100-watt power amp  includes an 8” foam-surround low-frequency driver and high-frequency  tweeter, allowing for crystal clarity and high fidelity. The Acoustasonic 150,  150-watt, stereo power amp is equipped with two 8” foam-surround,  low-frequency drivers and high-frequency tweeter, allowing for increased  volume and improved acoustic tonality.

Additional features on both amps include instrument and microphone  channels with independent EQ and effects controls; new feedback  elimination control with on/off switch for each channel; patented String  Dynamics™ control that tames harsh treble notes; effects  including reverb, delay, chorus, Vibratone, and more; XLR line out with  level control and ground lift; stereo effects loop and a USB connector  for digital recording output.

The Acoustasonic 100 Combo is available at authorized Fender dealers for  a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $559.99. The  Acoustasonic 150 Combo is available at authorized Fender dealers for a  manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $699.99.
