Amplifier Discussion / Fender Frontman 15G
July 22, 2007, 06:39:45 AM
Hi guys,
Im new to the forum and electronics so go easy on my knowledge...Ive got a Fender frontman 15G (the cheapo verson without reverb :'( ) now i was jamming with my Boss Metal zone Mt-2 pedal, running it through my amp listening with the head phones now i cranked the level and the gain/Distortion on the pedal and was really Squealing the thing doing some harmonics and stuff and after bout 20 seconds of playing my amp just turned its self off, i turned it off and on again but nothing....i tried my amp in another power point...but still nothing, i pulled the circuit board out and had a look and the fuse seems fine and i cant see anything blown. i read the other post on the frontman amp on this site about the rectifier diodes and filter caps could be the problem so i went and purchased a Multimeter to see if i could find the problem part but i got a reading from all the parts (i dont know if you can diagnose blown parts with a multimeter but for $12 thought id try it) anyway does anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong with my amp?

and also if it is the Electric Caps...there glued in with some sort of resin how do you remove it and do i need to re-resin it if i put new ones in....if you need pix just ask ill be glad to post.
