Channel-1

A.INPUT— Plug your guitar in here.

NOTE: Items {B–G} below apply to both Channels.

B.CH (1 or 2) GAIN— Controls preamp volume and contributes to the loudness of each channel. The current AMP TYPE {D} selection affects the behavior of the GAIN control, such as, the amount and tone of distortion produced at high GAIN levels. NOTE: The GAIN controls are non-functional when ACOUSTIC Amp Types are selected.

C.CH (1 or 2) VOLUME— Use to set overall loudness of each channel after adjusting GAIN {B} levels.

D.AMP TYPE—Selects one of 16 core amplifier circuits for each channel (see next page).

NOTE: Use the extreme flexibility of the AMP TYPE knob wisely! Treble harshness or boomy bass tones can be avoided by adjusting your guitar settings and playing style for particular AMP TYPE selections.

E.TREBLE / MIDDLE / BASS—Adjusts the high- mid- and low-frequency tone characteristics of each channel.

F.FX TYPE—Selects one of 16 effects for each channel (see next page).

G. FX LEVEL—Adjusts the intensity of the current FX TYPE {F}. To disable effects, turn FX LEVEL down to "1" or use the Footswitch {N}.

H.CH SELECT— Press to switch channels, as indicated by the adjacent channel LEDs (see Footswitch {N}):

Channel-2

I.PHONES—Aspeaker-emulated output for use with standard Stereo or Mono headphones. Accepts a standard 1/4" plug.

J.POWER LED— Illuminates when the amplifier is ON.

Rear Panel

K. POWER SWITCH—Switches the amplifier

ON–OFF.

L. POWER CORD SOCKET— Connect to a grounded outlet using the included power cord in accordance with the voltage and frequency ratings specified on the rear panel of your amplifier.

M.PWR IN / PRE OUT— Power Amp input and Preamp output jacks for connecting your effects or other external sound equipment. EFFECTS LOOP: Connect PRE OUT to the effects input and PWR IN to the effects output. PRE OUT can also be used for a variety of

recording and sound reinforcement

purposes.

N.FOOTSWITCH—Connect the included

2-button footswitch with any length guitar or speaker cable to enable remote Channel Selection and Effects Bypass.

FM 212 DSP specifications

The Fender FM 212 DSP is a dynamic guitar amplifier that exemplifies the brand's dedication to innovation and quality. Designed for guitarists who crave versatility and superior sound, the FM 212 DSP is tailored to meet the demands of any performance situation, making it a reliable choice for both stage and studio work.

One of the standout features of the FM 212 DSP is its dual 12-inch speakers, which deliver a powerful and full-bodied sound.

The amp’s output power reaches a robust 100 watts, providing ample volume for rehearsals or live performances.

The FM 212 DSP is equipped with a digitally controlled signal processing (DSP) system, offering an array of effects that can enhance your sound. Guitarists can take advantage of various effects such as reverb, delay, chorus, and more, making it easy to shape the tone to fit different musical styles. The onboard DSP also includes a simple user interface, allowing for quick adjustments and easy navigation between settings.

Additionally, the cabinet is built to withstand the rigors of touring, featuring durable materials and a protective grille.

In terms of connectivity, the FM 212 DSP offers several options, including an auxiliary input for playing along with backing tracks, a headphone output for silent practice, and an effects loop for connecting external pedals and effects units.

Overall, the Fender FM 212 DSP is a versatile and high-performing amplifier that delivers the quality and reliability that Fender is known for. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional, this amp provides the tools needed to explore your musical creativity.
