The new FM65R guitar amplifier from Fender is a solid-state combo amp with 65 Watts pumped through a new 12 inch Fender Special Design "Sound-Tested" Driver.

The DRIVE channel with its new MID CONTOUR switch lets players get the distortion tones needed for Rock, Blues, Metal, and more; the famous Fender "clean" channel speaks out loud and clear especially when combined with the spring reverb. Black control panel, Black vinyl covering and grille cloth, and Chrome hardware present a no-frills.

Optional one-button DRIVE footswitch available.

The new FM65R guitar amplifier will debut at this summer's NAMM show, and it will begin shipping in August.

U.S. List price: $399.99. 5-Year Transferable Warranty (US and Canada) . Weight: 32 lbs. Dimensions: Height: 16.8" Width: 18.75" Depth: 9"
