There are two volume controls. One is "drive volume" the other just "volume"

The plain volume control is a 50K ohm, linear taper.(A) old marking

The Drive volume is a 100K ohm Log taper.(C) old marking

Find suitablel parts at DigiKey.com or Mouser.com or find a Febder repair center to order the part.

From other than Fender, You may have to shorten the shaft with a hacksaw to match your needs.

My fender fm 65 dsp amplifier squeals and feeds back every time i turn it on

Is it plugged into a guitar at the time? If so, it sounds like you're using a speaker cable instead of an instrument cable. There is a big difference. Look on the cable to make sure. If guitar is not plugged in would be a completely different diagnosis.

I have a Kustom Sienna 30 amp that I use for my acoustic guitar with a pick up but I have bought an acoustic base with built in pick up and was wondering if I can use the same amp?

Yes, however the acoustic will be MORE sensitive to feedback so don't let the guitar "hear" the amp.

It is not clear if the volume knob you are talking about is in the amp or the guitar... SINCE you said you verified the amp is OK I have to assume the volume control you are talking about is in the guitar and my answer is based on that...

I SUSPECT that the resistance element and/or the wiper in the volume pot is damaged. One other possibility is the soldering of a wire to the volume pot may be bad. If you are competent with a soldering iron you could replace the pot yourself or take it to a competent guitar shop for repair. I would myself suggest you open the electronics and look for anything obviously wrong. I have ALSO seen one other problem where one lead of a pot is touching the CONDUCTIVE paint in the cavity where the controls are. If the shaft nut becomes loose and the pot slightly rotates this can happen, grounding out the signal.

I have a fender guitar amplifier, and I can't get any low volume out of it. At level 1 on the dial the volume is sooo loud - no gradual increase at all. It's impossible to play softly. What's going on?

It sounds like (pun intended) the volume pot just needs to be replaced. A good pot is worth about $5 and then you just need to solder it in. That tends to be the tricky part if you can't solder. It takes longer to heat up the iron than it does to do the job. I'd assume this happened either after it had sat for quite a while or after a move.
What can happen is the wiper or the resist inside the pot breaksor even the wire to the pot breaks and there goes your volume control. Depending on what model of amp you have you don't want to run it like this for too long. You can't fix the pot but you do need to replace it. I would assume it sounds like it is either full on or doesn't change the volume at all.
This is one of those maintenance things you should check for from time to time. you may notice that the pots get noisy or inconsistent for a while and then they do this kind of thing.
The attenuator will kill the volume but that doesn't actually fix the problem you have. When the amp is running properly you should be able to get quite a low volume. If you need to run it harder so that it gets into the distortion range then a attenuator will drop the volume down to a practice at home non eviction volume ;-]

Crate TX50 DB has noisy DSP circuit when rotating the DSP pot!

When you are changing the DSP effect on the fly, static or noise is NORMAL !!! The DSP is changing the data and having to recalculate on the fly and doesn't mute itself while doing so which results in "garbage sounds out".

The bypass setting should NOT get any tone UNLESS you have feedback going on. If your guitar can "hear" the speakers in the amp, the strings can vibrate and get feedback going.

Unplug the guitar and see if high freq tone is still there on bypass. If the tone is in the musical range, then there is a problem if nothing is plugged in. If it is a VERY weak, very high frequency tone, this may be the digitizing noise from the DSP. On bypass, the audio is likely to still go through the DSP, just not be modified by it.

Low volume on acoustic and jazz amp type

Ok, so I hope you realize the Fender FM25DSP guitar amplifier is an "entry level" NON-valve amp with a DSP chip that has model shaping tones. I am sorry but this is a toy and Fender did not spend the tens of thousands of US dollars to have built-in tones that truly 'kill". This not digital modelling like Line 6 or Fractal Audio did and so you have a problem from the start. This amp was always intended as an entry level amp for the bedroom only and never to be used on stage.
Jazz and acoustic modes have some similarities requiring mid-range boost and some rounding. Not easy to achieve with a DSP chip that costs about US$10 to manufacture. Sorry, consider using the amp for practice but look at a more serious valve amps for live on stage

My Fender FM25 DSP suddenly stopped working. I was playing along and then I it just started buzzing. I turned it off and noticed the red light stayed on much longer then normal. Like it was having issues draining the current. The amp is only used as a practice amp at home. It has never been turned up past 5 on the dial. I was using the clean channel with reverb when it went south. Anyone have any ideas? the amp is probably 5 years old and really has not been used that much.
