Published on 09/29/11 at 13:32The Fender rock pro 700 amplifier is a hybrid amplifier features preamp two tubes but a solid state power section. This is a 70 W amplifier that can crank out some very loud tones. If you've ever had any experience with a solid-state amplifier especially one that has over 50 watt then you know it's going to be a very loud amplifier. This amplifier also features reverb and a good little foot switch to switch between the clean and distortion channels.
UTILIZATION
This is a basic look to the front as you would know from any other fender amplifier would have. You get your basic clean set up as well as your distortion channel and that is pretty much about it. The layout is pretty self explanatory because you get the same basic EQ section as you would any other fender amplifier.
SOUNDS
The tone of this guitar amplifier is decent for the clean tones. See you can get a good Fender clean tone but you're going to suffer is the distortion tone. Most Fender amps overall cannot really produce a good overdrive or distortion tone. Their clean sounds great all the way up to blue sounds when it comes to high gain distortion they really lack in this area. So if you need a good distortion channel , then this is not to be the amplifier for you. It's cool idea with a hybrid technology but overall I prefer in all tube amplifier.
OVERALL OPINION
These guitar amplifiers are not that common but you can find them pretty easily and the used sections of classifieds but especially on eBay. They're very prevalent on eBay so that is where I would start your search and looking for this amplifier. They're cool amplifiers for the tone of the clean but other than that it's not that big of a deal. You can find them for right under $200 which is not that bad of a pick up.
