Can anyone here provide me with any information and/or views of the Fender SKX range of amplifiers? I believe that they were produced in during the late '80s/early '90s but there appears to be very little information about them available. The only thing that I have managed to source is a Japanese Fender Product catalogue from 1991 (see link below) that features this SKX range of red knob amps.

Any info or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Classic solid state power amp schematic used by 7ender. For the preamp I don't know.
About sound, I never played on, but I suppose that it's close to FM.

Thanks for the post and input, much appreciated. Any idea as to why there is so little info surrounding these amps and why so few people know of them?

I'm guessing that they weren't very popular and didn't sell well. :wink:

Singularly unremarkable in tone, versatility, and appearance......ie: no redeeming social value.

:lol:
