I just bought the new Frontman 212R. While on, the amp has a strong odor that smells like hot melting solder. I also have the FM 212R and itdidnt do this when new. other than the odor the amp operates normally. Has anyone had this happen?

You could have a couple of things going on. if the amp sat around in the store for a while you could have dirt/dust inside that is burning off. no problem. or you could have electronics inside that for some reason are overheating. big problem! if the smell lasts more than i week i would take it back to the shop you got it from and have it checked out. also make sure you arn't covering any ventilation grills. amps need to breath.

This happened with me and my Blues Deluxe. I stuffed the vinyl cover in the back of the amp when I was playing it. I discovered a strange smell and it was the cover burning against the tubes. I don't keep it in there anymore.
