Hello everyone,

I recently acquired this amp, but am having a hard time finding any info about them. The previous owner didn't know much about it either. He has been the only owner since he bought it back in 1980/81. The looks almost new concidering age, and everything works perfectly.
Does anyone know anything about this amp? It's value? The amp also has a "Channel switch" on/off toggle, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what it actually does. Does it enable/disable the footswitch?

You'll find some information (including a schematic) here......

http://ampwares.com/amplifiers/fender-30/

The "30" was one of three Ed Jahn designs intended to compete with the then-popular Mesa-Boogie platforms of the early '80s (the other two were the "75" and the "140"). The 30 and the 140 were discontinued relatively quickly but the 75 continued to be cataloged for two or three years. All three models were loaded with bells and whistles -- all of them novel for their time (as far as Fender amps go). I believe the "channel" switch on the front panel permits pre-amp mode selection when the footswitch is unavailable or not connected. Connecting it overrides the front-panel switch.
