The Fender DELUXE 112 PLUS amplifier is a straight-ahead combination of radical new distortion sounds and time-tested Classic Fender Sounds packaged together in a Solid-State configuration, which is both easy to use and inherently reliable.

The DELUXE 112 PLUS NORMAL Channel feature the standard compliment of VOLUME, TREBLE, MID, and BASS controls. The DRIVE Channel features GAIN, VOLUME, and a separate E0 consisting of CONTOUR, TREBLE, and BASS controls. The almost unlimited combinations of the of the GAIN and CONTOUR controls will vary your sound from smooth and bluesy to a honky bite or all the way to ten for the crunchiest sounds around. You get searing smooth highs backed by deep punch. The TREBLE and BASS controls gives you continuous adjustment of the highs and lows, allowing the DELUXE 112 PLUS to be the perfect compliment to your individual playing style.

The PREAMP OUT & POWER AMP IN jacks can be used as an effects loop or as Send and Return points while slaving multiple amps together or for direct connection to recording and sound reinforcement mixers. The possibilities are endless (eg: by inserting a Chorus pedal between the PREAMP OUT of one amp and the POWER AMP IN of another, a true stereo image effect can be achieved).

Last but definitely not least, the Fender DELUXE 112 PLUS packs a new power amp that is based on a radically underdamped design that interacts with the speaker in much the same way as a tube amplifier does, producing sparkle and punch with an increase in apparent loudness and power that defies comparison to other similarly rated units Also included is a sophisticated, transparent protection scheme designed to completely prevent amplifier failure due to bad speaker cords or incorrectly connected speaker jacks.
