Hi All - I have a Fender Performer 650 bought used. Love the amp, LOUD, great clean and using the overdrive.
Recently, the signal drops on strumming guitar harder (or jumps in level), while also being distorted (but on the clean channel). Presently it is unusable.
Frustratingly, I have taken it to two repair outfits; one flushed out the pots, said it was repaired (NOT! - which I discovered that night at sound-check!) while the next one tinkered with it for three weeks and then in the end I got them to agree they weren't able to detect problem.
Any trouble shooting tips would be greatly appreciated as this has been going on for over five weeks - I have replaced components, mod'd pedals and guitar electronics. If this can be solved I will make a decision whether to repair myself or get someone else to do it, but with more knowledge this time.
Thanks in advance!
