Why should guitarists have all the fun? A lot of people seem to assume that you only need a single bass sound. But really, just like the electric guitar, it can often be best to suit the tone of your bass to each song. With Fender's Bronco 40 you can have the same tone-shaping and amp modelling capabilities as a guitarist, so you can dial in the exact bass guitar tone you're after whether you're on stage or in the studio. Amp models include Rumble, '59 Bassman, Bassman TV, Bassman 300, Redhead, Rockin' Peg, KGB800, Monster all in a compact 40w Solid State package that won't break the bank or your arms lugging it about. Also included are effects including fuzz, reverb, chorus, compression, envelope filter, flanger, phaser and octave, a tuner and aux in/heaphone one mini jacks.
At Home
Use the Aux in to jam along with an ipod or mp3 player and the headphone out to practise silently. Keep your neighbours happy at night time with silent practise!
On Stage
Enjoy the wealth of tones and effects on offer to shape your live sound. Then use a footswitch (optional extra) to toggle between two quick access pre-sets. Just like having a two channel amp or better still like switching between two completely different amps!
In the Studio
The Bronco 40 also has a built in audio interface so plugging a USB cable into the Bronco and your computer will allow you firstly to record directly to your computer with no microphones or other gear needed, and secondly to control the amp pre-sets using Fender's Fuse software.
