I just got an FM 212 DSP in a trade. After a few uses, it quit. Puts out very low volume, you can hear the model changes and effects taking, but no real volume. Problem is through speakers, or headphones. My guess is something in the power amp stage since you can hear some output and the models are working, just no volume.

I didn't really need this amp, just found a guy looking for what I had and we traded as I always thought you can't go wrong with a Fender amp of any type and you can never have too many amps! I called Fender, and the amp was less than 1 year old, so they said it will be take care of under warranty. My real question is has anyone else had similar issues with this series of amp. I have had several different brands of amps, and other than tubes going out have never really had a problem with any. Is this just a fluke, or is the FM series a little suspect?

Thanks

I used an FM 212 DSP for about a year and had no problems with it. It's definitely a very loud. I think it would work well as a backup amp, assuming you can get it fixed without too much hassle. The clean tone is pretty decent for a solid state, and I kind of liked the "reverb+delay" effect.
