Fender Tone Master FR-10 and FR-12 FRFR cabs

[Lysander]

Not sure if it was here or FAS forums, but is it true these things are actually only putting out about 150-200w of actual power?

Yes.

 

[Chocol8]

Yes.

Sustained RMS vs peak though.

Sustained; "peak" really has no meaning in the realm of power audio amplifiers.

Both the FR-10 and FR-12 use a Class-D power amp capable of 150W into 8 Ohms, plus a couple extra Watts for the bi-amped tweeter output. Fender's "1000W" claim was always an outright lie.

The power amp section can actually handle up to 350W, but that's on a 4 Ohms load.
