Fender prosonic…

[JackBootedThug]

Anyone rock one? Are they legit or hype machines?

 

[marvcus]

Legit. Great amps. Have had 2 of the heads. Zinky era Fenders with a great clean and dirt channels. Early ones had channel switch “popping” issues.

 

[RaceU4her]

I always wanted one

 

[JohnnyGtar]

Scorcher. I wish I had one! It's one of Fender's best amps EVER.

Atlanta Discount Music has a head that has been there for a loooong time. If it’s not consignment, they might do something crazy to move it along but it’s already at a decent price as is.

 

[marvcus]

Also it has 2 switchable rectifiers — SS and Tube. I recall paying between $500-600 for each of mine about 15-20 years ago, so $725 seems like a decent price today

I had the OG combo when it came out in the mid 90s—loved it. Would def pick one up again to see if I still did. Was pretty heavy IIRC. Did the Fender Reverb thing and the gain channel was very cool

Legit, I had a combo (for the reverb) to quote another, def smoked, I would def like another.

 

[Techdeth]

I loved them

I was considering getting one not long ago, but opted for a Machete as a higher gain Fender. That doesn't mean I didn't like the Prosonic or it was a bad amp. A Machete just happened to pop up at the right time & price.

Had a Prosonic head for years


One of my favorite amps ever. It sort of reminds me of a cross between a Dual Rec and a Mark 4 in a way - absolutely insane amount of gain available and an addictive greasy compressed feel that makes lead playing feel so easy

Normal channel with the gains jacked up also has a killer ac/dc style crunch

So I think this is going to wind up on my short list again. If anyone comes across a deal they're not interested in, throw a lead in here to help a brother out

Never tried one but I bet they are better than any pos modeling amp out there.

I think OP was a little confucius when he thought trading for a modeling amp was a good idea.

I'll say this, hopefully without derailing too far, but giving-in and buying an Axe-II has been paying off dividends when it comes to learning how to dial in pristine effects. Not once have I used it to replace an amp, recording or otherwise.

I don't know, I've seen some pretty weird shit.

Steve - get yourself a Prosonic brother.

I don't feel like that's a thread derail. I told my wife in all seriousness if I ever play start playing golf or a modeling amp to put a pistol to my head while I'm asleep and pull the trigger.
