PRE

OWNER'S

MANUAL

The

FENDER

M-80

PRE

-AMP

is

a

masterful

combination

of

radical

new

distortion

technology

and

time

tested

Classic

FENDER

Sounds

packaged

together

in

a

one

rack

space

configuration

which

is

both

easy

to

use

and

inherently

reliable.

The

M-80

PRE

-AMP

Clean

Channel

features

the

standard

compliment

of

Volume,

Treble,

Mid

and

Bass

and

the

Overdrive

Channel

features

Gain,

Volume,

and

separate

EQ

consisting

of

Contour

and

Presence

controls.

The

FENDER

Contour

control

will

continuously

vary

your

sound

from

smooth

and

bluesy

to

a

honky

bite

or

all

the

way

or

all

the

way

to

ten

for

the

crunchiest

metal

sounds

around.

You

get

searing

smooth

highs

backed

by

deep

punch.

The

presence

control

gives

you

continuous

adjustment

of

the

highs

to

allow

the

M-80

to

cut

through

in

any

playing

situation

without

being

overbearing.

The

extreme

sensitivity

of

the

overdrive

channel

defies

comparison.

With

its

unending

sustain

capability

you

may

find

that

playing

on

ten

is

just

too

much;

but

it's

still

there

if

you

want

it.

The

M-80

PRE

-AMP

features

a

detachable

2

button

footswitch

for

selecting

the

Overdrive

Channel

and

switching

the

Effects

Loop

on

and

off.

Standard

1/4

inch

phone

jacks

are

used

for

ease

of

connection

or

extension

of

the

footswitch

to

remote

pedal

boards.

The

Effects

Loop

in

the

M-80

PRE

-AMP

can

be

used

in

both

mono

and

stereo

applications.

The

addition

of

"stereo

returns"

allows

stereo

effects

units

to

be

inter-

faced

perfectly

to

the

M-80

PRE

-AMP

and

the

stereo

signal

then

sent

to

the

power

amplifier.

The

Effects

Loop

includes

FENDER'S

exclusive

3

position

Level

Selector

Switch

and

Gain

Offset

Control

to

precisely

match

the

correct

level

requirements

for

your

personal

set

of

outboard

effects.

This

will

insure

optimum

signal

to

noise

performance

for

your

system.

A

dedicated

Level

Control

connected

to

the

Headphone

Output

gives

maximum

flexibility

during

private

practicing.

of
