Fender 2232200000 Blues Deluxe Reissue Guitar Amp Questions & Answers
Input not working
Need a bit more info before I would have a good idea of whats the cause. I t may be a jack, the preamp, or one of the opamp chips as examples (just to start) One of the first thing is to turn it on let it warm and simply see if all the tubes are lit. Next is to try both input channels. Plug something into the jack and play with controls. Then switch jacks and repeat. If you get no sound that means we are looking at something in the board or output end (well most likely anyway) What we are trying to do is narrow it down to a section of the board or tube or ******. When these are working they are one of the best sounding amps. Unfortunately there are a few years where the build quality is less than perfect. My friend plays blues and I got so tired of fixing this beat I ended up taking all the parts off and using military and aerospace grade parts. Sounded better and it hasn't dared break again ;-] If this is a 90's one best advice is if you are going to a gig have a spare.

Fender blues deluxe reissue is making a popping
Try tapping the tubes (especially the small ones) lightly with a regular wood pencil and see if you can detect noise. Also verify your guitar AND cable are not the source of the noise by using them on another amp. Verify that popping exists witout guitar cable being plugged in.
Also this is the season for static electricity. Shuffling shoes on rug may create pops due to discharges. Spray rug with Staticide if this is the case.

Unable to activate reverb and drive channel with
Make sure you have the CORRECT foot switch pedal. Try unplugging the pedal and then try the cabinet switches to see if they work. The pedal for this one has a different circuit than some. I have the schematic and we can do further testing.

How to operate an acoustic fender electric guitar Fishman tuner
If it's the same as mine, the tuner has a little clothespin clip. You clip that on to your guitar's headstock and turn it around till you can see the screen while picking strings. The tuner picks up vibrations through the headstock and with it's microphone and it tells you what it hears. The little needle tells you the note and if the string you're plucking is below that note, above that note or right on. You have to figure out if you're in the right octave on your own.

How can i control 2 different fender hot rod deluxe 3's drive channels with just 1 footswitch? Thank you in advance
You could buy a Lehle switch, or simply use one on each separately. If you are using a multieffect unit you could make a Y cable to take the output to both amps but that will not allow you to select the drive channel - you still need the Fender footswitch for that, one for each amp. Lehle is a German company and they make a lot of different footswitch combinations but you will pay for the convenience.
I recommend the Fender single button footswitch for this use - Type: Footswitch
Number of Footswitch Buttons: 1
Manufacturer Part Number: 0994052000
It's about $35.00 each, compared to the Lehle which starts at $200. Just put the two side by side and make a metal bar to attach to the two switches - then you have a single bar to activate both drive channels at the same time. I recommend using aluminum bar stock with holes drilled into it for the switches, or find a C channel aluminum bar that will put the footswitch buttons in the channel. You can also make it one inch overhang past both switch bodies and then use bolts to keep the bar in place. If I was doing this I would mount the footswitches on a board and secure the bar to be on top of the footswitches, using coil springs to maintain the bar's alignment vertically at the end bolts.

How does a fender ax-12 chromatic tuner work
I'm an engineer, not a musician. The device is a frequency meter set up to display the musical note input to it. If you pluck a C flat and it shows an A you need to tune your instrument till it shows a C flat. You will have to refer to the manual for operation and modes.
