PreSonus’ parent company Fender have announced that Studio One, along with the Quantum and Audiobox range of audio interfaces, will now be marketed under the Fender brand. From 13 January 2026, Studio One will now be known as Fender Studio Pro, while the Quantum and AudioBox lines will transition to the Fender Quantum Series and Fender AudioBox.
The reimagined Fender Studio Pro environment brings with it an updated visual design, native Fender amp and effects plug-ins, a new channel overview, updated samplers and AI powered audio-to-note conversion for layering sounds, and intelligent chord technology aimed at songwriters. Combining Studio One Pro’s celebrated features and trusted performance with a new modernised interface, Fender Studio Pro 8 features Fender’s renowned amps and effects models including the Mustang and Rumble Native plug-ins, which offer 57 guitar and bass amp models and hundreds of effects.
Fender say that they remain dedicated to inspiring generations of artists and creators through technology, tone and timeless design, and that the new Fender Studio brand represents the next evolution of that vision. Anchored by Fender Studio Pro and the Fender Quantum Series Interfaces, this next-generation line-up promises to deliver reliability, premium sound quality and seamless integration across hardware and software, from the studio to the stage.
Starting 13 January 2026, all existing PreSonus customers will continue to be served through the new MyFender platform, which will replace MyPreSonus. The new platform will not only serve software and hardware customers, but also those who purchase guitars, amps and effects.
As for the PreSonus name, Fender have said the following: “In parallel, the PreSonus brand will continue to serve creators with industry-leading audio solutions like the acclaimed Eris Monitors, StudioLive Series III SE Mixers, Air XD Loudspeakers and more. As part of the FMIC family, PreSonus remains committed to its core mission of democratising music creation and making professional-quality tools accessible to artists at every level. PreSonus customers will continue to receive full support and updates. Stay tuned for more exciting announcements to come in 2026.”
“For more than a decade, Studio One Pro has set the standard for modern music production. Its balance of power, creativity and ease of use has inspired countless artists and shaped how music is made today. With Fender Studio Pro, we are taking those celebrated features and enhancing them with a modernised interface, Fender’s award-winning amp and effects models and new intuitive workflows and capabilities that make creating music faster, more inspiring and more connected than ever.” - Max Gutnik, Chief Product Officer, FMIC
