Title: Fender Mustang II v.2
Post by: scottishmac2012 on December 08, 2019, 04:35:09 AM
The Amp is a Fender Mustang II v.2  40 watt combo amp with a 12" stock speaker.   After I power up the amp randomly shuts off or looses power ...for no apparent reason?   What could be the problem?  As well as the possible solution's?

Rule out the simple things first;
If the Amp has an Effects Loop then bridge those in/out sockets with a guitar cord.
This bypasses the internal switch inside the socket.
This is a very common fail point in many amplifiers as they all seem to use flimsy contacts for the internal switch now days.

The issue needs be to better defined.
Shuts off as in the front indicator goes out?

Agree^^^

Do you mean the power goes off, as in the power light goes dark?  Or do you simply mean the sound goes away?
