How do I record my guitar from my Fender® Bronco™ 40 amplifier?

While your Bronco™ 40 amplifier can output audio through USB, it cannot receive audio input through USB. Therefore, output from any audio app, including AmpliTube Fender SE, must be handled by an external source. This source can be your computer's soundcard or audio interface and speakers. In order to configure the driver and audio settings for AmpliTube Fender SE please follow these step-by-step instructions.


 

For Windows computers:

1. Download and install the Fender ASIO driver here: Fender Universal ASIO Driver
2. Launch AmpliTube Fender SE and then open the Audio Setup menu found under "Settings."
3. In the first drop down menu, select ASIO as the driver type.
4. In the Input Audio Interface drop down menu, select Fender Universal ASIO.
