Fender proudly introduces the all-new Machete combo amp. With tremendous versatility and performance-oriented features, this high-end, sonically powerful combo is an essential companion for the discerning musician.

The 50-watt, dual-channel Machete combo boasts a completely new high-gain channel, an extremely clear-sounding clean channel that can be pushed into aggressive rhythm guitar territory, and onboard digital reverb. Its heavily robust enclosure construction and single 12” Celestion® speaker deliver full, rich and pummeling response, with midrange notch control, adjustable speaker damping for finely tuned performance, XLR output with switchable speaker muting and cabinet emulation, and push-pull pots for bright boost and gain boost on the rhythm channel.

Serious guitarists and amp connoisseurs who are both meticulous and adventurous about even the finest details of their sound will find the Machete a formidable new member of their arsenal. The turbo-charged combo’s distinctive cosmetics include vinyl covering with inlaid white piping and gray vinyl “steering wheel grip” accents, new Black Silver Strand grille cloth, heavily knurled chrome knobs and all-new corners and hardware. Four-button footswitch and fitted cover included.

Sounds like some serious gear.
What's the price range on these?

Interesting. I like it. Digital reverb seems an odd choice for a high end Fender amp, but hey, it probably sounds great. Alot of combos(and heads too) have issues with noise regarding the long spring reverb tanks with some amp designs. Maybe this is an acceptable alternative to that. A channel switching, high gain Fender amp? Next thing you know, they'll be using EL-34's! :shock: Just kidding. As I said, this will be an interesting amp, and I can't wait to hear it!

No thanks I don't like being a beta tester. What's the retail, about $1200-1500?
The name creeps me out too. Is Jason from Friday the 13th one of the designers?
A pro amp needs a pro name. Even if it sounded great, the name would turn me off. :wink:

It could be good amp, but it's too expensive for me. I'm sorry.

At least its a real guitar amp with tubes and not some computer mascarading as an amp:

Pre Amp Tubes: 5 X 7025/12AX7A
Power Tubes: 2 X 6L6GC

It even uses a 12AT7 to drive the digital reverb. :shock:

How about:

"Shotgun"
"Wood Chipper"
"The Butcher"

Or maybe just

"Killer"?

Then it could be known as a "Killer" amp. :lol:
