Fender Rhodes Stage Model
Amp configurations
Original Fender Rhodes Satellite
amplifier system.
How should you choose an amp for the Fender Rhodes
Stage Piano? A rule of thumb is to find an amp that
can handle the deep bass notes as well as the high bell
notes the Rhodes can produce.
An electric guitar amp will not function well because
it lacks the ability to reproduce the low frequencies
of the bass keys and to deliver the high frequency qualities
of the higher keys.
Example Mono configuration
 The
Rhodes Stage piano output is mono. A simple, small amp-alternative
to deliver the full range of original sound can be the
Motion
Sound KM-12 Amplifier.
Example Stereo configuration
Using a Rhodes Stage model in a stereo configuration
is the preferred method for most musicians. This method
increases the musical capabilities of the Rhodes, taking
the mono instrument to the original Satellite Fender
Rhodes System configuration and the Suitcase model.
With this configuration you can use the vibrato feature
and enhance the sound with harmonic clarifiers and aural
exciters to reproduce some of the great 70's Dyno sounds.
