Crate flexwave 120 head effects malfunctioning
That is probably a momentary switch that is dirty and sticking. These onboard effects on guitar amps are usually nothing more than a computer sound card and I've found bad connections going to and from them as well. I do think that switch is dirty and sticking, though.

I have a Marshall mg100hdfx Head & Cab - The clean channel is on but when i hit the footswitch it is not changing to overdrive channel - please help
Sounds like either your "front-panel" switches are not set for channel switching or the footswitch's mechanical "Channel" switch is defective. According to the OM the "Channel Select Switch" on the front becomes inactive with the footswitch plugged in.

If disconnecting the footswitch causes this front-panel switch to operate properly then it has to be your mechanical switch in the footswitch. Repair of these footswitches are pretty simple provided you find a replacement and have soldering abilities.

Wiring a crate 2 button footswitch to work with the prometheam ibenez bass amp...can it be done?
Mixing brands on footswitches, even within the same brand but different series is NEVER a good idea. While many can be converted by elecvtronics competent techs, the effort is usually not worth it for anything other than the simplest footswitch.

When I plug my P803 2 Way footswitch into my Haze40 amp the effects light flashes and the footswitch will not change channels or effects.
The P803 is designed to work with the "Valvestate" and Tube amps. I don't think it is compatible with the Haze40 since they have an optional 4 button footswitch so the optional one would necessitate different interface than the P803.

A possible problem MIGHT be marginal switch contacts on the external foot controller cable. If you are not using the foot pedal, these contacts must maintain contact to keep the same channel selected.

Everytime I play on my Fender Frontman 212R the amp switches betweeen the overdrive and clean channels. I can't even switch between the channels on my own. It does it itself. I need help fixing this...
You don't say if you are using a footswitch or not... If you are, the switch, cables and connectors are suspect.

If you are NOT using the controller, the switch contacts on the footswitch jack in the 212 are suspect as being intermittent contacts.

If the contact is not making, the OD switch on the unit will NOT work either.

These jacks, and their contacts are JUNK and often cause problems.

Open the unit and increse the tension of the contact springs.

My 100hdfx has a problem switching channels. Both overdrive channels work fine but the clean channel is none existant. If you switch it to the clean channel and turn it up all the way you can faintly here...
have you tried the footswitch to change channels. also. my amp has to be in channel 2 position (with the button on the head) before i can use the footswitch. sometimes the input/footswitch jack wears out and you need to bend the internal tip/ring tabs of the jack to make better contact. also like on my fender amp, i had just a standard mono instrument cable going to my footswitch and it was acting wierd cause it needed a stereo instrument cable. one last thing on the grounding resistors on the pcb, they get hot and break the solder welds which messes with all sorts of stuff in amps. usually look like sugar cubes , cement resistor. 5watt usually under 1k ohm. check for bad solder welds on the pcb where the big resistors are and the switches/buttons and at the footswitch. there may be a bad ic or transistor for the channel swithing

If the footswitch is not switching correctly, open it up and check for any shorts or a defective switch. Sounds like it's a problem with the switch.

MG100HDFX Amp - crunch setting seems too loud
There are 2 channels, Which means there are 2 sets of knobs ... One for clean and one for crunch. Start out with a low master volume and set up the crunch, Then the clen and switch between the 2 and make adjustments until they match volume wise ... Then turn the master up.
