FENDER

2150

OWNER'S

MANUAL

Your

Fender

2150

Rack

Mount

Tube

Emulation

Power

Amplifier

is

the

culmination

of

an

ambitious

project

undertaken

by

Fender

R&D,

Manufacturing

and

Marketing

personnel

in

which

the

goal

was

to

bring

to

the

working

musician

a

straight

-ahead

amplifier

with

inherent

reliability,

tonal

flexibility

and

portability.

The

2150

offers

the

dependability

of

total

Solid

State

circuitry

and

more

tonality

than

most

tube

amplifiers

at

half

the

cost.

The

amplifier

is

extremely

versatile,

including

switchable

tube

emulation,

presence

control,

and

impedance

selection.

Your

power

amplifier

has

switchable

CIP

(CURRENT

IMPULSE

POWER)

that

emulates

the

characteristics

of

output

tubes

without

the

microphonics,

reliability

and

cost

hassles.

With

the

switch

in,

the

2150

uses

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

compari-

son

to other

similarly

rated

units.

For

a

sound

that

screams

even

louder,

turn

up

the

presence

control

to

increase

the

high

frequency

output.

With

the

CIP

switch

out,

the

amplifier's

output

level

remains

constant

with

any

load

impedance

just

like

a

normal

PA

amp

or

bass

amp

but

with

the

added

benefit

of

a

presence

control.

This

control

adds

"slap"

to

your

bass

or

a

killer

high

end

to

your

keyboards

or

other

instruments.

With

either

mode,

at

150

watts

per

channel,

this

amp

is

LOUD!

Setting

the

impedence

selector

switch

to

the

rated

impedence

of

your

speakers

allows

you

to

switch

CIP

in

and

out

without

having

to

spend

time

resetting

the

volume

controls.

The

selection

of

a

Fender

amplifier

will

reward

you

with

years

of

quality

music

in

a

wide

range

of

controlled

sounds.

This

manual

is

designed

to

familiarize

you

with

the

equipment

and

to

acquaint

you

with

its

many

fine

features.

Read

it

carefully

so

that

you

will

benefit

from

all

the

features

as

soon

as

you

start

using

the

amplifier.

The

built-in

quality

of

a

Fender

amplifier

is

the

result

of

over

three

and

a

half

decades

of

dedication

in

the

combined

skills

of

research

and

development

by

our

engineers

and

musicians.

That

is

why

we

say,

proudly...FENDER,

The

Sound

That

Creates

Legends.

WARNING:

TO

REDUCE

THE

RISK

OF

FIRE

OR

SHOCK

HAZARD,

DO

NOT

EXPOSE

AMPLIFIER

TO

RAIN

OR

MOISTURE.
