A. INPUT I- A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in connection for instruments.

B. INPUT 2- A plug-in connection for instruments. This input exhibits lower input impedance and sensitivity than INPUT 1, and is useful with active pre-amp guitars. This input will provide a darker tone with passive guitars. Both inputs are identical when used simultaneously.

C. VOLUME - Adjusts overall volume of the NORMAL channel.

D. NORMAL CHANNEL INDICATOR- This L.E.D. is illuminated when operating in the NORMAL channel.

F. MID- Adjusts the amount of mid-frequency boost or cut in the NORMAL channel.

G. BASS- Adjusts the amount of low- frequency boost or cut in the NORMAL channel.

H. GAIN- Adjusts the amount of distortion in the DRIVE channel. Lower settings provide a gradual compression distortion, while higher settings provide more sustain. This control works in conjunction with the DRIVE channel VOLUME control (item N) to set the overall volume of the DRIVE channel.

I. DRIVE CHANNEL INDICATOR- This L.E.D. is illuminated when operating in the DRIVE channel.

J. CONTOUR- Adjusts the overall tone quality of the DRIVE channel. Low CONTOUR setting will emphasize mid frequencies. A higher setting will notch the midrange to produce the “crunch” sound characteristic in most heavy metal music.

The Fender 112 is a popular guitar amplifier known for its versatile sound and user-friendly design, catering to both novice players and seasoned professionals. This amp is a part of Fender’s classic lineup, renowned for its quality and reliability.

One of the standout features of the Fender 112 is its power output, typically rated at around 40 watts, providing enough volume for rehearsals and small gig settings.

The combination of the amp’s power and speaker size ensures clarity and definition across a wide range of frequencies, making it suitable for various music styles.
