:( :x - 34 days after purchase, my XD failed. I am an intermediate player trying to get to local gig ability. I got this unit to practice at home with while getting decent sound. Now, since Guitar Center can't/won't take it back 4 days past the original 30, I have to rely on Fender to send me another one. According to the warranty center, Fender has said it will be a few weeks to get a new unit. This my first Fender product - now I am wishing I'd bought a used classic 30; I could practice with it now and gig it in the future.

Is this an anomaly? Any suggestions from the ether?

It took me 6 weeks and a bunch of calls from the dealer just to get a replacement credit for a GDec. Good luck. :wink:

Make sure all the tubes are seated very well (you likely already have). If no sound, replace the 12AX7 tube. Mine went bad (no sound) at about 4 months. Put in a JJ.

My experience was a bit more positive. My Vibro Champ XD just died one night. I took it to an authorized Fender repair shop and had a new amp in about 10 days.

FWIW the newer amps have different DSP. The new one has better combinations of reverb with other effects, but there is no flanger or phasing anymore.
