Description
Not every practice session needs a rig van. The Bronco 40 is built for bassists who want real tonal range – not just a clean/dirty switch – without hauling around a heavy combo. At 30 lbs with a molded handle, it’s the kind of amp you toss in the car for a lesson, a writing session, or late-night noodling with headphones on.
- 40 watts through a 10″ Fender Special Design speaker – enough push for bedroom and small-room volume
- 8 onboard amp models: Rumble, ’59 Bassman, Bassman TV, Bassman 300, Redhead, Rockin’ Peg, KGB800, and Monster
- 13 built-in effects including Modern Bass Overdrive, Fuzz, Greenbox, Chorus, Envelope Filter, Octave, Step Filter, Delay, and Reverb
- 24 stored onboard presets, with unlimited storage via free Fender Fuse software over USB
- 1/8″ aux input for jamming to tracks, 1/8″ headphone out for silent practice
- XLR line out for direct recording, plus USB for tracking straight into your DAW
- Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, and Master controls with tap tempo for time-based effects
Because the Bronco 40 is software-modeled rather than fixed-circuit, you get a broader palette than a typical practice amp – vintage tube growl, modern high-gain punch, or clean headroom, all dialed in and saved for instant recall. Editing and sharing patches through Fuse means you can build a library at home and pull it up on any Bronco. Add the optional single-button footswitch to flip between two quick-access presets mid-session, useful for switching from a clean verse tone to a dirtier chorus sound without breaking stride.
Whether it’s your only amp or your dedicated practice/writing companion alongside a bigger stage rig, the Bronco 40 covers a lot of bass ground for not much weight or space.
