Are the chicken knobs on this amp under warranty? I've purchased this little killer late last year, only played in my home, never seen the outdoors.

Just last week playing through the amp I adjusted the tone when not one, not two, but three of the buttons just cracked in half! WTH?????

I can understand one button maybe but three? In one day? In one sitting?????

C'mon Fender, what gives?

Can anybody explain this to me? Brad?

And no, I do not abuse my amps or any of my gear, more like pampering them really

Kind of a disapointment.

I'm guessing that these days they make them out of "kung pao" chicken instead of USA-bred bantam roosters.

Welcome to the economics of the "new world order".

Dan Riley ships you your order very quickly. I would certainly order from him again.

His prices are very competitive as well.

Thanks for the link guys but ordering from the stateside would cost almost double with the shipping cost. I have to get the knobs from my local music store.

Still sucks that they're not under warranty though!
