PRACTICE, JAM & RECORD
The Bronco 40 is a 40 watt bass combo with a Fender special design 10" speaker. Use it at home for inspiration while practicing. Plug in your mp3 player and jam along, and when it gets late you can plug in headphones and keep the music going without waking the neighbors. Loud enough to jam with your guitar playing friends, the Bronco™ 40 can change tones as needed to keep the inspiration flowing. One of the best aspects of the Bronco™ 40 is as a studio amp. The USB out can plug into your computer DAW (digital audio workstation) where it will be recognized as an audio interface. The output is digital-to-digital (no analog conversion) resulting in a ultra-clean stereo track (mono bass signal and stereo effects).

COMPRESSOR
Mustang further sculpts your sound with 12 sweeping, swooping and shimmering adjustable modulation effects, including chorus, phaser, flanger, vibratone, tremolo, step filter and octaver. Use your computer to add more effects, too.

12 ONBOARD EFFECTS
Bronco further sculpts your sound with 12 FX presets you can add on top of your amp tone. Modulation effects, including chorus, phaser, flanger, wacky synth like sounds of envelope filters and an octaver along with delays and reverbs for spacious, open sounds. It´s all there, and with Fuse you can customize multiple effects into one of your AMP presets (for use only with that preset) or one of your FX presets (allowing you to add it to any amp preset on the fly).

USB CONNECTION
Mustang further sculpts your sound with 12 sweeping, swooping and shimmering adjustable modulation effects, including chorus, phaser, flanger, vibratone, tremolo, step filter and octaver. Use your computer to add more effects, too.
