I have to replace input jack 1, the treble pot and the reverb unit in a 2003 FMR65 I recently bought for a song ;-)
As I currently have it taken apart, are there any mods or tweaks that can be made to this amp that anyone here on the forum can share with me?
Are there any speaker models that might do better than the stock "Special" one?
Thanks,
Bob G.

Modular transistorized platforms such as Fender's Frontman series do not readily lend themselves to "tweaking" in the classic sense. You can easily upgrade the speaker however. The Celestion Greenback, Vintage 30 or Eminence's Swamp Thang would certainly deliver better tones than the chicom-made OEM driver.
