Hi all, this is my first post.

I purchased a FM212R amp which i took delivery of yesterday.

When i plugged my guitar in through input 1 and 2, i was unable to get any volume from the amp. When i turned the (Normal channel) volume up, i could hear the speaker getting louder, but there was no guitar sound coming through.

Upon activating the drive channel, i was able to get guitar sound. it seems to work fine.

I was also to get guitar sound when i ran it through the Power in jack, but only on the drive channel.

So, basically, it seems that the normal channel doesn't work. I have tried 2 different leads, same result.

I am playing a Mexican Tele.

The instruction manual stipulates the guitar is to be plugged into Input 1 or 2.

Can anyone advise if i am doing something wrong here or if it sounds like equipment error

Thanks in advance

It could be that the end pin of the input isn't making enough contact. I've seen it happen when an amp has been in transit and gets bumped around a bit. You could look and see if it's the same as the drive channel input.
