Fender Chorus/Reverb Amp Clean/Distortion pedal with with included
The Fender Ultimate Chorus is a versatile 2x12" solid-state stereo amplifier celebrated for its massive clean headroom and lush built-in analog stereo chorus. Because the amp's built-in distortion is highly debated, most users utilize it as an exceptional pedal platform for external overdrive and distortion pedals.

Amp Overview & OperationThe Fender Ultimate Chorus (typically 130W total, utilizing two 65W power sections for true stereo) features two discrete channels: Normal (Clean) and Drive.The Clean Channel: Highly regarded for its crisp, Fender-style sparkle and warm clarity, often favorably compared to the Roland JC-120.The Drive Channel: Features built-in pre-emphasis distortion designed to emulate tube saturation. While some players enjoy it for mid-90s punk tones, most find it a bit buzzy and rely on external drive pedals in front of the amp for dirt.Stereo Effects Loop: One of the amp's secret weapons. By utilizing a stereo cable in the return jack, you can run stereo effects (like delay or chorus) to create a wide, immersive soundscape
The pedal you are referring to is the Fender 2-Button Channel/Chorus Footswitch (often corresponding to part number 099-4057-000). It includes a 1/4" stereo plug, and depending on your amplifier, the included footswitch toggles your amp's clean/distortion (drive) channels and switches the onboard chorus effect on or off.For historic Fender 1980s and 1990s solid-state amps (like the Princeton Chorus, Ultimate Stereo Chorus, and M80 Chorus series), this specific 2-button switch is the ideal hardware match.The functionality of your setup depends on whether your amplifier features built-in drive or if you are combining multiple stompboxes.Amplifier Operation with the CR121011 (Footswitch)Fender chorus/reverb amps from this era (such as the Power Chorus or Ultra Chorus) feature excellent clean channels, but opinions on their built-in drive/distortion channels are mixed. Many guitarists prefer to use the footswitch simply to jump to the clean channel, relying instead on an external overdrive or distortion pedal in front of the amp for their high-gain tones.Switch 1: Toggles between the Clean channel and the Dirt/Gain channel.Switch 2: Engages or disengages the amp’s built-in, lush stereo chorus effect.
