Sometimes, frequently, when I turn the combo on I have hardly any power. I have found, beyond any question of doubt, that applying some pressure to the amp around the horn switch gives my power back. Apply some more pressure, maybe it goes away. Apply some more, maybe it comes back. What is near that horn switch that's causing this and how unlucky am I?

You may put pressure on printed circuit or connector or....; you make a On or Off contact.

Return on warranty if you can or see a tech.

There is a connector that carries the amplified signal to the horn and speakers. Best case scenario is it is just loose and needs to be reseated. If you are a competent handyman you can check this out yourself, but don't leave any tell tale signs you've been in there poking around as this will void your warranty. If that isn't the culprit, then it's off to a Fender Authorized Service Center. Good Luck!
