All user reviews for the Fender Roc Pro 1000

Solid-state amp BUT it has a tube for the distortion/drive, your choice.
Line out (8Ohms mini), send return, loop volume control, footswitch input (3 buttons on the pedalboard, to enable the distortion and choose the distortion (there are two), plus activating the reverb).
Spring reverb.
Not bad already.

USE

Easy to dial in, it features bass, mid and treble controls for the clean channel and the distortion channels, a reverb control and a VERY sensitive volume control.
The sound is five times as loud when you go from 1 to 2 on the volume control!
It will rock you off your feet.

SOUND

It's fine for my music style.
I have a 50W all-tube ENGL amp (screamer) that I keep in my rehearsal room.
I wanted an amp to play mainly clean sounds, at home.
I'm satisfied, the clean channel faithfully reproduces the sound of the guitar. It doesn't have that hi-fi sound often associated with solid-state amps.
It's deep, crystal-clear, the reverb is quite all right.
As I already mentioned above, be careful with the volume control or you can end up deaf, it's über-sensitive. 100W that won't make you blush. The speaker is an original Fender. The amp is made in the USA.
I play Fenders (Mustang and a Tele Aerodyne) and it sounds awesome, not as warm as a tube amp, true, but very satisfying.
The distortion sounds are also up to the job, not muddled, rather aggressive, you only need to work the EQ a bit and you can get convincing sounds.
The two distortions: One is a tad more nervous than the other, which is more "acid," while the other is more of a "fat overdrive."
Independent distortion and clean volume controls.
As for the loop, it does the job.
I play with some delays (dd20, Memory boy and VS h2O) and a chorus, the sound is well respected and not puffed up.

OVERALL OPINION

Yeah, okay, I've had it only for a couple of hours...
I also have an all-tube amp (ENGL), a small Epiphone combo (Valve junior) and I wanted a not-too-expensive amp to play clean guitar..
I'm very satisfied with the clean sound, it's a real treat. It's solid-state amp in the age of hybrids and modeling amps, of the multiplying of tube watts (as Jesus did with the loaves of bread).
The distortions aren't icky at all, they are usable.,
I'll do a test with my band to see how the sound comes through in a mix.
For me it's a very good tool, a good Fender, made in the US and, for the price, it would've been a shame to have missed it.

I have owned this combo 1996-98. It was a light / transistor hybrid model. Fitted to a 12AX7 pre-amp. And an excellent reverb EQ 3 bands effective, two plus one more drive channels.
The production was made in USA.

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more classic, simple but effective settings possible to obtain quality sound.
As far as memory allows, I remember a beautiful clear sound and a drive quite usable although I've always used the more distortion pedals the second channel combo.

SOUNDS

At the time I was playing with the Fender Stratocaster and I got excellent results. The clean channel really gave a clear sound, typical of the picture can get sound Fender. The drive channel was very comfortable for hard rock and blues. But as I wrote earlier, I was using rather distos or OD with the clean channel.

OVERALL OPINION

Before playing on the Roc Pro, I had a Champion 110 and the difference was more than notable. The Roc Pro 1000 makes it possible to really get the Fender sound for a very reasonable price. Today, it is found used around € 150 which makes it a perfect amp for beginners and only. If I could find one in my area, I would not hesitate to buy at this price!
Really it was a great combo and a great success in the Fender range.

Transistor for clean and power, 12AX7 tube (?) For saturax channel that contains two types of gain.
Spring reverb, all these people is remotely controlled with the switch (Led) provided cool.
Series effects loop, not yet tested. Additional hp taken, the internal is still functioning.

Under 100w 4ohms, 70 unchanged.

One can quibble that the loop is not remote controlled, yada yada yada.

UTILIZATION

CLean with 3 band eq and switch on the stamp is a small dark hair is normal mediums sparkling and flexible / living.

Winning with 3-band eq, here you have two non-cascadable gain, he who lights the yellow LED is softer more bluesy. He who lights the red is much more packed, heavy distortion unfortunately its too loud compared to the other gain and nothing can be paid separately.
So the use is not always obvious.

Typical fender, Volume 1 is nothing, and 1.5 is already too high, and it is worse on saturax ...

Forget any kind of apartment that thing!

To see I inserted my hot plate to reduce the volume at home, and it always does too, this is no longer the volume inconvenient but very brutal attitude of the amp, it is not makes it easy to play it all!

SOUNDS

I played hard enough on two 12-inch box (usually dedicated to my bugera 1990), it is devilishly Rocpro sound! In clean is fun but hard and dark compared to 1990, on the other hand you 100w clean and it's a hell of fuss. The reverb is doing great, she is not too long for a time.

The saturax is another story, the amp is transformed, it's hot smooth and precise, adorable yellow on the drive, no wonder master Yngwie will be used in live (concerto with Philharmonic Orchestra siouplé!).
I do not know what light is in and it's the cotton air to remove, as it sounds good you touch anything.

OVERALL OPINION

Rare okaz I waited a very long time.
Saturations produced by this amp are great, and the stability of the power stage is a sacred anymore after a time (as opposed to all-tubes that change in his (over) heating), you know what expect here.


I wonder when same questions, regardless of the model everyone is unhappy with the fanciful race volume knobs, you think fender is deaf? Return customers info anyway!

clear channel has transostor
2 channels saturated lamps
100 watt

UTILIZATION

simple configuration
clear sound worthy of fender amps
very saturated sound guy for the brand
Impressive power for a 100watt combo
I also use just the amp with speaker 2 * 60Watt and it gives good.

SOUNDS

For my part, I juggle between foot switch, multi effect (zoom 505II) and boss metal zone, the big bass in "bold" are honorable but limits to the range of the amplifier

Distortion in "soft" AC pulse when you put the volume, the receiver requiring only that.

I play it with a purchase from the light of Lag Rockline 1993, epiphone sg 400 and an electro norman b20.

nothing to say about versatility.
However, the station has amplitute the knobs ... not progressive! ca spits very fast! to make your enemies your neighbors are no better room! damage no headphone jack!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 15 years without any problem and again is its versatility which blew me away who have tried or line6 amps like Marshall.

I bought 4000frs at the time and if I had to do it again would without hesitation!
A good amp simple and effective even in concert!

Hybrid transistor amp lamp.

Clear channel transistor
Lamps for 2ch: crunch and distortion

For technical specifications:
1 input jack
1 loop
One direct mailing
1 shipment for external speaker 8 ohm sub

100 watt power.
Exponential curve volume knob: No more than 1 apartment if oiling voisinous .. the rest is linear to 3-7. Beyond, you need a room of 500 people.
Speaker: 12 inch with good dynamics and brilliance. Enclosure that can disable by unplugging the two wires connecting it to the preamp. Handy in the studio recording the Room:
Governed amp with speaker disconnected. Output jack on a 4x4 studio transplanted by micro.
= I rule my amp as I want to be governed.
A spring reverb in good order.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration
Easy to use
Attention to the curve of volume knobs.
Requires a little work its sound volume is important for the disco (requires lamp), although its fundamentals will not change.

SOUNDS

THEN THE SOUND:

Clean flapping in the rock that kills .... there is.
The most versatile amp I know.
Although the metal is not clear with ... it is still useful for all styles.
Predilections: rock, blues, funk.

Two channels with a single volume damage.
The channel is called orange crunch as it is not a true overdrive crunch but rather a
The red channel is itself a little more heavy, dynamic and with a rate of greater distortion.

It can be used as a booster in solo rock.
I play my rhythm channel in orange and red I go to solo.

This amp goes a bit against the idea of ​​the fender base with its strong character.
This is according to the words of the seller at the time the fender the most versatile distortion that exists

OVERALL OPINION

My first quality amp ago bought a big couple of years for 400 euros.
For blues and rock, it really is ideal.
For funk, ca goes well.
Arpeggios not sound wrong with the brightness of the enclosure.

I also tried a more grunge and heavy dropped D and frankly it does.
I liked it a little drool but hey ....

I do not regret buying it.
Even ten years later, I always use and it has not budged.
I have heard changing the lamp and cleaned the inside.

===> SI buying opportunity for rock and blues, do not hesitate <========

When I see the price occaz, although hybrid, frankly I do not understand.
I know that there is any style lamp 5 watt Marshall Class 5 occaz for 250 euros, but still .... I never sell mine.

I bought it for $ 400 used in buenos aires.
I needed a big rock valve amp to use whit my tele.

The clean channel is more than clean, its fender!! it sounds like an old twin reverb and works great with strats and teles.
The double dry valve channel has 2 different overdrives that sounds like a big marshall, very hard!!!
You can also recreate vintage dist sounds with the second overdrive.
It´s perffect for hard rock and heavy metal.


it hasn´t got headphone output and you can´t play low because of it´s valves.
the volume pots for both channels are so sensible that you´ve got to be very carefully using them.


It is perfectly assembled and the speaker(eminence) it´s so great.
it has metal corners and a upper handle.


Roc Pro is the fenders line for heavy rock and but don´t forget the incredible clean sound and the spring reverb.

I payed £180 S/H from a delear in Derby, GB


Sounds great, the clean sound is sweet and vaigly gangaly, an yet both the distrsions are in your face with out being nasty. On top of all souinds graet at volume 1 or 10, though the people in the next twon might complin if you use 10.



Very expancive foot switch and replacment of the pre-amp valuve is a VERY VERY bif job. You to take how amp to bits.



It's built like a rock, very solid, oftren used a seet, when not as an amp.



Really good allreound amp, any one giging should be useing one

In terms of features, everything has been said about. One thing that comes, the power of this amp. It's true that we spoil its 100W! After, it depends on usage.

UTILIZATION

For my part, I find that its use is simple enough to yield easily the sound you want. With this amp, you can afford a wide range of sound!

SOUNDS

Sound level; excellent, perfect. I play mostly funk and that kind of music is ideal. The typical Fender clean sound is excellent, it offers crystal clear sound, slamming! TOP
And distortion tell me? I was pleasantly surprised by its versatility, its clean as it is excellent, I thought the distortion will be "set aside". Well no ... This amp is just great ...

OVERALL OPINION

This is an excellent compromise, a good deal, I bought € 330 and I am completely satisfied!

The Fender Rock Pro 1000 is a solid-state amp designed to replicate the sound of a tube. It's mostly a practice amp and has low wattage. There is a simple 1/4" input as well as a foot switch input. There are two channels, clean and boost, and there are no effects. There is simply one EQ knob, labeled contour.


UTILIZATION

Getting a good sound for practicing is about all you can hope for with this amp. I'd say that the best thing you can do is get a decent clean and dirty tone so that you can work on techniques appropriate for these sounds. The manual will explain the amp well, but there's not exactly a whole lot to explain really. There's just the volume for each channel, gain knob for the boost channel, 3-band EQ and Master Volume.


SOUNDS

The amp basically requires a lot of work to get good sounds. With a Fender Strat, I think that the only way to get a decent blues tone was to crank it to ten. That is pretty loud, and dangerous for the amp. The distortion was decent for metal, but not great for lighter styles of rock that required more character out of their amps. I would say that for beginners this is going to sound fine, mainly because they won't really know any better. Most seasoned players would be dissatisfied, even for practice.


OVERALL OPINION

I think this is ok for beginners, but I'd advise most advanced players to avoid it, unless you are a metal player in need of a practice amp, in which case it's probably a good idea. The price is pretty reasonable for the most part, which I think is good because I wouldn't want to pay more for this. But if you are a beginner than this is for you, this would be a great first amp to get you up and running and learning out to understand amps.

100W
I think prampli lamp, power amp transistors (I'm not at all)
Between a guitar
An effects loop

UTILIZATION

Config there not simpler
it was easily a good sound conditin not want to sound with a lot of bass and a big distortion
Hein, c what a manual, I did not see color, but there not really need lol

SOUNDS

Not always adapt my style of music, but I bought it when I bcp jou diffrent of stuff, but I plan to buy chang ENGL body double
I played on an Ibanez RG and I had a super aggressive, trs acute, I did not like that but I ca on hand

OVERALL OPINION

5 years
more: c to 100 watts of fags, ca Arache, g jou never above 5 repeated in concert
less: lack of versatility
some CHRE

UTILIZATION

Nothing is easier for the config!
Contrary to Celia from above, for the grave of adpend rglages, I with a les paul sounds plutt a lot!
not need a manual! You only have to read the buttons and off you go!

SOUNDS

-This amp is perfect for my style of music, good rock is powerful ... perfect for the course mtal adpend!
I plug even a scratch on it and selecting acoustic increased mdiums on clear channel (not switchable on pdalier provides) a tremendously good password
I use it with a Les paul std, std strato a squier, and a acoustic ... scratch effects: Boss HM2 Boss CE5 707 ZOOM 1
It is totally clean channel is what I want is to say a round in the bass and percussion in the high for the distortion channel 1 is a fine type distortion crunch, channel 2 closer to the metal
"I love the clean sound in two rglant well rverbe you get a nice sound diffrent each other for solos!

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year since I use it, I bought OCCAZ (450), a State irrprochable!
most: versatile amp trs, trs powerful (100W is not a fruit!)
the least: be not too strong because arrives at 3-4 (I am not drang has not), the entourage has rpeter earful
of good quality fender as they are very familiar with so the price is not ... normal?
well on the exprience and above the money would have instead tried to buy an old Marshall head + body (that's my style zic!) but I'm looking Bafle an extension to add to the rock 1000 pro so it suits me perfectly! is the atomic bomb!

Hybrid amplifier (transistor amp + overdrive a lamp)
A clear channel
2 channels of overdrive
A button-building mdiums
EQUAL 3 bands
100W, but be careful, very strong (powerful but not specially strong)
Effects loop with knob in facade
Reverb
Taken to spare head (8 ohms)
No headphone jack

UTILIZATION

Adjustments super simple, easy to find the right sound clear. A little more about the Distortion channel, one of the two appropriate to each (for cons, it is true, as the set of all the software it will tantt tantt the heavy), they are not the equivalent of a Solo + Rhythm.

SOUNDS

- Fits my style not too bad, but hey we can do better forcment
- I play on a US Std Start with dual microphones in serious
- On the clean channel you get a really find anything. The Equal is quite effective (the trble an insensitive), and the reverb works wonders. This is the main strength of this amp. Personally s'arrte has seen the one I MT2 for distortion. I am in fact never happened to find interesting sounds on the overdrive of the amp. Any fawn pdalier I had no need so ...
- I find it really clear sound almost perfect, it's Fender "at its best." Saturated by the cons ...

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for 5 years now. I had a small Fender Frontman for me, and Marshalls for rpeter.
- No bcp tergivers before acqurir (new 450), c'tait one of the few in my budget and appropriate in its power.
- I do not regret that choice at all. In addition to its clear sound, this amp has other advantages: Hyper robust (number of concerts keupons squats, beers overturn current supplied by a group electrogne, cuts "hot", pos m me dirt floor, dust, and trimballage in all directions etc. ...), and actually quite compact (takes 1 / 4 of the trunk of my 206) which allows to turn light, while sending the serious steak sound level (never test more than 4).
- Its default: in addition to the channel (channel but hey ....) overdrive just nase, one problem is the amp's speaker is trs directive: it's not in front evil, but a cot is zero. It seems that replacing this one with a Celestion 12 "radically changes the receiver class and do something top. I confess I have never tried.

- So I would say top quality price, experience that I would do gladly (but it runs too and I pass on the Mesa ... I fear dja bp of reliability so I keep a little one the

Amp hybrid (lamp and transistor) 100 W.
Clean channel with volume, bass, treble, mid.
Two channels overdrive and distortion rglages with volume, bass, treble, mid joint.
Reverb.
Footswitch for the selection of channels 3 and rverbe.
Effects loop.
Output hp external line out, but it lacks a headphone jack.

UTILIZATION

Difficult to settle easier.
The sound is excellent in the clear and overdrive, the distortion is a matter of taste ...
I have no manual, but it has never failed me.

SOUNDS

My guitar is an Epiphone Les Paul Standard and the sound obtained with the Roc Pro overdrive is rather bold, parfiat in Rock and Blues.
The clean sound is warm and beautiful prcis.
The least distortion for me but the Epiphone pickups are probably also responsible ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three years, and I'm not deu, robustness and power prices are frankly Roc Pro significant.

I can't tell you how many Fender amplifiers that this company has built and its existence but I can imagine there are a lot more than I am aware of. This is a simple little amplifier that has three channels of operation. You have a normal clean channel and you have to dedicated gain channels or crunch channels. It's a nice little amplifier for someone is looking for a decent little combo to get the basic Fender tones with. They're not very expensive and they had a pretty good sound for what they are. This is not to be an amplifier that is going to contend against the Fender twin reverb or any other major baseman type amplifiers but it will be a nice little practice amp for someone who needs a cheap amplifier.

UTILIZATION

This amplifier basically has 100 W of power and it's pretty stinking loud for solid-state type amp. It comes with its basic Fender 12 inch speaker and it doesn't really have much else to say other then it's a pretty basic Fender amplifier. You get the normal channel on channel switching options as well as a reverb and adjustable effects loop. As a mix control and line output to go directly into PA system or your recording setting. This amplifier is I'm cheap amplifier if you can grab it but I wouldn't spend too much time going accurate.

SOUNDS


The tone of this amplifiers pretty much Fender all in all but it's not going to be a great distortion amplifier so if you're looking for a decent gain tone and this is not ambient. If you needed decent clean tone then this is a pretty good amp for as most Fender amplifiers are for their clean sounds. In my opinion this is not that great of an amp if you're looking for a mobile multiple channel amplifier because the extra channels just sound like trash has most Fender gain or distortion channels sound. I never liked a Fender distortion channel out of any amp they've ever done other than the new EVH amplifiers which are a completely different beast all around.

OVERALL OPINION


You can find these used pretty easily and if you look hard enough you can even find the head versions if you're needed that style of amplifier. They did make this in the head as well as this combo so both of them can be found well around the range of $100-$200. I really don't recommend this amplifier to anyone because it just doesn't sound that good for all that has as a option on this amp. It has a good clean but so do a lot of other amplifiers and so if you're looking for multiple channel amplifier particular and then this is not to be the one for you.

Amp transistors, with the lamp (12AX7) in Global Warming prampli for the sound.
100 Watts, and definitely not lazy!
Connectivity classic, no frills ... effective.
Rglages could not be more simple:
- Volume clear channel
- 3-band EQ
- Drive 1
- Drive 2
- Level effects loop
- Reverb (phenomenal!)

UTILIZATION

This gives a good sound trs trs quickly.
No manual included with, but not really necessary. This is the good old rglage simple and effective.

SOUNDS

The clean channel gives a crystalline trs (from Fender), the rverb spring is wonderful.
Both channels are INTERESTED drive, even if I have a weakness for the overdrive, really warm that the distortion. The 12AX7's prampli really gives it all.

For when I was in the buff rock with friends, it was widely ... limit too powerful. As I am rather blues, I pass a Peavey Classic 30.
But there really a way to have fun with the ROC PRO 1000, much more versatile than the equivalent in Marshall, for example (Valvestate).

OVERALL OPINION

I did not now, but I shut trs happy. I have even an electro acoustic branch and I t bluff by the fineness of its clear, trs really clean.
It is a powerful amp really trs noise. HP is a little too prescriptive, but a pulse!
Report qualitprix not equal to the time when I bought it. Any amp with this power quality for the price-l.
I would do without this choice hsitation if I changed back to rock.
I said "ROCK" ... mtalleux, go your way, it's not for you!
