Hi there, first time poster. I've been reading the different topics here to try and trouble shoot my problem, but I'm stumped.

I bought a Fender 85 off Ebay, and when it arrived I couldn't get any sound through the speaker, just a low hum. Here's what I've tried:

1. Tested the speaker with a multitester and it is functional.
2. Tried each input (this one has 2) with different cords and different guitars that work on my other amp.
3. Tried running a cord between the effects loop inputs, no sound.
4. Tried using with headphones, no sound.
5. Tried running my iPhone through the inputs, very faint sound through both and the volume would go up and down.
6. Tried running my other amp (Yamaha THR10X) through the effects loop and got sound through the Fender speaker! But then the fuse blew.


I have a schematic for a Fender Deluxe 85, but very low knowledge of electronics and only a multimeter to test.

Are there any ideas as to what the issue is?
