Fender Frontman 25r Combo Amplifier Ata Case - New! Questions & Answers
I have two Fender 25R amps with no tone conrol what so ever.
There could be several reasons why your Fender 25R amps are not producing the tone you expect. Here are a few things to check:
- Make sure the tone controls are not bypassed: Some amps have a switch that bypasses the tone controls. Check the manual or look for a switch on the amp to make sure the tone controls are engaged.
- Check the speaker: If the speaker is damaged or wired incorrectly, it can affect the tone. Try connecting a different speaker to the amp to see if the tone improves.
- Check the EQ circuit: There could be a problem with the EQ circuit that is preventing the tone controls from working properly. This would require opening up the amp and checking the circuit with a multimeter.
- Try using different guitars: Different guitars have different tone characteristics, and some may sound better with different settings on the amp. Try using different guitars to see if the tone improves.
If none of these solutions work, you may need to take the amps to a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair.
Can't Replace Speaker in Fender 25r Frontman
This is a pain I know. First clean off the locking goo that started the problem. I am surprised you are changing the speaker. They rarely go bad, but the amp chip in these does go bad. To remove the screw you need to slot the flat head. Use a Dremel tool with a little cutof wheel to grind a slot into the flat. NOW to remove the nut with remaining goo, use a soldering iron to heat the screw in place before trying to remove the nut. When replacing the nut, don't forget to paint the head of the screw so the slot doesn't show AND "chase" the threads so nut will go on freely.
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.

Guitar amp input not working
Get inside it and check the connections to the plug especially any shielding / braiding. Resolder the connections.

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.

Can you please advise? My Fender Blues Deluxe re-issue 180W has a humming buzzing sound which is not clean. Yesterday I used it, was fine and turned it off. Today I have the buzzing problem.
Does it still have a hum/buzz when NOTHING is plugged into the INPUT? If so, you MAY have a tub going bad. If the noise is only there when you have your guitar/effects, etc. plugged in, then the problem is the guitar grounding or effects faulty...
FIRST: When the amp is "cool", UNPLUG THE AMP POWER CORD FROM THE WALL! ! ! ! Then CAREFULLY remove and reseat the tubes one at a time. Be sure to insert back into the socket correctly. You MAY just have a bit of corrosion on the tube "pins"....
SECOND:Don't plug anything into the amp, turn on and warm up. GENTLY tap one tube at a time with a WOODEN pencil. DO NOT USE anything metallic (like a screwdriver....) and be VERY gentle. If the noise increases or decreases, you probably have a tube going bad...
That's all I have. If this doesn't cure the issue, best take it to a repair shop . . . .
