I have just bought a secondhand Fender Frontman 65r, which came without the footswitch. The reverb appears not to work, even though I can get it to 'ring' through the speaker by gently rocking it to activate the springs. Does this amplifier require the footswitch to be plugged in, to make the reverb work, or is there a fault somewhere? Help much appreciated!

OK, so the footswtch isn't needed to turn on reverb..it is always on. Checked the resistance for both coils, and seem to be about right. So I am assuming the problem is between the guitar input, and the feed to the reverb tank. Any Fender experts out there?

Perhaps if you re-post your question in the correct sub-forum (modern Fender amps) one of those "experts" will endeavor to assist you......

Perhaps ;) But it was originally about the pedal...but there again...it should be 'switch' shouldn't it? :D Thanks!
