Since 1946, Fender realized the importance of your amplifier. You see, your amplifier

is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. Your amplifier is a

musical instrument. And like any fine musical instrument, it should be treated with

special care and attention to detail.

At Fender, we know what building guitar amplifiers is all about. For over half a century,

we have been designing and producing some of the world's best amplifiers helping

shape the face of music. In fact, many of the world's most classic and best sounding

amplifiers have proudly worn the Fender name.

Whether you're after that classic Fender tone, a clean crisp sound for your Bass or

Keyboard or the raw driving power of modern distortion, your decision to purchase a

Fender amplifier is one you will appreciate with each passing note for years to come.

Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt thank you,

Roc Pro 700 REFERENCE AND OWNER'S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Fender • Innovation

Congratulations on your purchase of a Roc Pro

Tube-Driven Hybrid Amplifier, a melding of

Fender’s distinctive Tube -Tone and cutting edge

Standard Series technology. Designed for today’s

innovative guitarists, our Roc Pro amplifiers have

what it takes to define your sound.

The Roc Pro 700 you now have in your possession

is an amplifier of incredible versatility and enduring

reliability.

Read through this manual and familiarize yourself

with the Roc Pro’s many features, then experiment!

Take the time to uncover the broad spectrum of

tone colors available via the front panel’s EQ and

GAIN controls. And don’t forget the VOLUME and

TONE controls on your guitar! An inherent feature

of the Roc Pro's Hybrid tube design is its sensitivity

to subtle changes in the input signal level. Dial in a

crunch rhythm tone with your guitar’s volume on

10, then slowly roll off the volume and listen to the

cleansing effect. Change your pick attack from

light to heavy, push, pull, thump and pump your

axe, your Roc Pro will respond to every nuance of

your playing!

•All Roc Pro amplifiers use a real 12AX7 / ECC83

preamp tube in their TUBE DRIVE channel to gen-

erate a stunning array of Fender tones from Vintage

Overdrive to Sonic Explosion.

•Select the NORMAL channel and dial up ultra

clean… fat and funky… power crunch… And

everything in between.
