Congratulations on your purchase of a Fender RocPro 1000 amplifier. Both the combo and the head only are covered in this manual and all features are the same, except where noted. Your RocPro 1000 is equipped with the features that todays musicians demand: Two channels with independent tone controls. Both vacuum-tube and solid-state circuits offering the best of both technologies in one hybrid amplifier. A choice of two pre-amplifiers in the drive channel, using a 12AX7 / ECC83 tube for its well known warmth of tone. 100 watts of power. Rear panel effects loop jacks with three output-level settings compatible with pedal and rack-mounted devices.

Front Pa nel Functions

1. INPUT - Plug in your guitar at this jack. NOTE: The Normal channel must be selected for items 2-6 to function. See DRIVE SELECT (item 14) 2. VOLUME - Adjusts the loudness of the amplifier. 3. MID SHIFT - Switch IN shifts up one octave the frequency range controlled by the MID knob (item 5). This offers control over a slightly higher range of your signal. Switch OUT shifts the MID range down one octave to its original position. 4. TREBLE - Adjusts the high frequency level. 5. MID - Adjusts the mid frequency level in the range selected by the MID SHIFT button (item 3). 6. BASS - Adjusts the low frequency level. NOTE: The Drive channel must be selected for items 7-13 and 15 to function. See DRIVE SELECT (item 14). Either GAIN 1 (Red) OR GAIN 2 (Yellow) can be selected as the active pre-amp in the Drive channel. See GAIN SELECT (item 8). 7. GAIN 1 - Adjusts the pre-amp level (distortion/sustain) while the Red pre-amp is active. Lower settings provide a gradual compression distortion and higher settings provide more sustain. GAIN 1 must be used in conjunction with the Drive channel VOLUME (item 15) to set the overall volume of the amplifier. 8. GAIN SELECT - One of two pre-amp circuits can be selected for the Drive channel. Switch OUT selects the Red Drive channel pre-amp (GAIN 1). Switch IN selects the Yellow Drive channel pre-amp (GAIN 2). 9. GAIN 2 - Adjusts the pre-amp level (distortion/sustain) while the Yellow pre-amp is active. Lower settings provide a gradual compression distortion and higher settings provide more sustain. GAIN 2 must be used in conjunction with the Drive Channel VOLUME (item 15) to set the overall volume of the Yellow Drive Channel. 4

10.PRE-AMP INDICATORS - The red LED illuminates while the Red pre-amp (GAIN 1) is active. The yellow LED illuminates while the Yellow pre-amp (GAIN 2) is active. 11.TREBLE - Adjusts the post-distortion high frequency level. 12.MID - Adjusts the middle frequency level. 13.BASS - Adjusts the post-distortion low frequency level. 14.DRIVE SELECT - Switch IN selects the Drive channel. Switch OUT selects the Normal channel. 15.VOLUME - Adjusts the loudness of the amplifier. Must be used in conjunction with the currently active preamp GAIN control (1=Red or 2=Yellow). NOTE: Both the Normal and Drive channels are affected by items 16-20. 16.REVERB - Adjusts the reverb effect level in both channels. 17.EFFECTS MIX - Adjusts the effects (wet) level signal while using the rear panel effects loop option. 18.FOOTSWITCH (Included) - Plug in the footswitch here. The footswitch enables switching between Normal and Drive channels, between Red and Yellow pre-amps and ON/OFF switching of the REVERB effect. NOTE: When plugged in, the footswitch disables the front panel select buttons. Connect the footswitch using a speaker grade cord rather than a coaxial guitar cord. 19.POWER INDICATOR - This LED illuminates when the amplifier is ON and receiving power. 20.POWER SWITCH - Switches the amplifier ON and OFF.

4. LINE OUT - This jack provides a signal output suitable for connection to recording and sound reinforcement equipment. Using a 3-conductor stereo cord will provide a quasi-balanced signal and a 2-conductor mono cord will provide an unbalanced signal. 5. SEND - Connect cord to external equipment at this output jack. This unbalanced jack provides a prereverb signal output from the preamp and may be used to drive effects units in an effects loop, to drive additional amplifiers in a multi-amp set up or as a preamp send to a mixing console. 6. LEVEL SWITCH - This switch directly effects the SEND jack (item 5) by boosting or attenuating the signal sent to the effects. External rack effects usually require 7dB or +4dB settings. Effects pedals usually require a 16dB setting. 7. RETURN - Connect cord from external effects devices at this input jack. Inserting a plug at this jack automatically disconnects the units internal connection from the pre-amp to the power amp. This jack is prereverb and can also be used as a power amp input. Plugging into this jack activates the EFFECTS MIX control on the front panel.
1. LINE CORD - Connect the power line cord to a grounded AC receptacle in accordance with the voltage and frequency ratings as listed on the rear panel of the amplifier. 2. 8 OHM SPEAKER JACK (Combo & Head models) Plug-in connection for external 8 ohm speakers only. 3. 4-OHM ADDITIONAL SPEAKER JACK (Head model only) - Plug-in connection for a external 4 ohm speaker or a second 8 Ohm speaker enclosure. The combined minimum impedance for all speaker enclosures should be 4 ohms (i.e. two 8 ohm enclosures in parallel).
