App-Syncing Guitar Amps

The New Fender Guitar Amp Will Sync with a Fender App via Bluetooth

— November 23, 2016 — Tech
Fender recently released a series of apps for both novice and experienced guitar players, and the legendary music company's new Fender guitar amp will have the capability to sync with these.

Though today something as mechanical as a wired guitar amp seems almost old fashioned, electric amps once (ironically) represented the very cutting edge of modern music. In keeping with that ethos, the new Fender guitar amps offer smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth and one of the company's apps.

To be sure, the amps still connect to guitars via a hard cable, as this is the best way to ensure high-fidelity sound. However, the amp's settings will now be able to be controlled by one of the Fender apps. This includes controls for things like volume, gain, bass, treble, and even the sounds of specific guitars.
Trend Themes
1. Bluetooth-enabled Guitar Amps - The integration of smartphone connectivity through Bluetooth in guitar amps offers new opportunities for musicians to remotely control amp settings.
2. App-controlled Guitar Amps - The ability to control guitar amp settings through dedicated apps opens up innovative ways for musicians to customize their sound.
3. Smartphone-integrated Music Gear - The integration of smartphones with music gear like guitar amps creates a seamless and convenient experience for musicians.
Industry Implications
1. Music Technology - The development of Bluetooth-enabled guitar amps aligns with the ongoing innovation in music technology, providing opportunities for companies to create more advanced instruments and gear.
2. Mobile App Development - The demand for app-controlled music gear presents a growth opportunity for mobile app developers to create intuitive and feature-rich applications catering to musicians.
3. Musical Instrument Manufacturing - The incorporation of smartphone integration in musical instruments like guitar amps opens up avenues for manufacturers to create innovative and technologically advanced products that enhance the user experience.
