Fender Review: Prosonic Combo

History: I have been playing for 20 years. Music style varies from classic rock, surf to bluegrass. I play an American Standard Stratocaster.

Purchase: I acquired the unit from Blues Angel in Pensacola, FL for $650. The amp seemed to take care of all my needs. Silky smooth clean to off the charts high gain. I did not know that I would fall in love with this amp when I purchased it.

What I Like About This Fender Prosonic Combo: The amps tone is very memorable for tube amp junkies; it is an all tube amp (i.e. rectifier, reverb). Very powerful 30-60 true watts yet it is compact. Effects loop, and two channels make this amp a very versatile.

What I Do NOT Like About The Fender Prosonic Combo: Nothing after I performed the channel switching mod. The modification notes are available on the internet...Other mods are also available but I have not performed them. Most of the amp is hand wired with the exception of two small circuit cards. I do wish the amp was full point to point wiring.

Fender Prosonic Combo Quality Rating: Cream of the crop. Awesome speakers!

Review Summary: Bottom line: look for a reissue a in years to come. Add a vintage Fender reverb unit, and a bassman cabinet and change the chicken head knobs to vintage white and you will have an awesome rig.

Rating of this Fender product: 5
