The amp sounds as killer as ever. No loss in tone or anything that could maybe be preamp related. However, the volume has dropped way low. I put in new output tubes and nothing changed. I did a search here but found nothing. Anyone know what's up with this? Thank you.

1- Are sure guitar and guitar cable are OK ?
2- Input jack; test if it move a bit ; intermittent solder ?

3- Effect / Send jacks ; plug a guitar ( or effect pedal ) cable to bypass jacks's close contact; inside bad contacts may drop volume.

I can't find schematic .
Any more warranty on the amp ?

Thank you for your reply. I have already tried all of those and that's the extent of what I have found online. Warranty is all over. I probably should have just bought a different amp.

After reading the link you posted-and thank you for that, it was eye opening-I'll probably just take this amp and throw it in the river.
Oh...and NEVER buy another new Fender amp again.

Open the amp and show pictures close to the input jack.

Most of the time it is easy and cheap to repair.

We can help you and you have nothing to loose. Good amp to learn.
