Fender Frontman 15r: Channel switching button seems to be having poor contact/broken.

Sun, 04 Aug 2024 15:59:05 -0700

When attempting to switch to the drive channel on my amp, the button seems to be having a contact issue. When I press it to use the drive, the sound doesn't come out, or when it does it sounds like when a cable is having contact issues. I know the issue is on the button itself because sometimes when I press it on a specific way, the drive channel works without issues, but after playing a while, I assume the vibrations move the button out of the good position because it goes back to the same issues as before. What's the best way to fix that? Should it need replacement, how do I go about looking for a new one? Replacement parts for amps seems hard to find.

Fender Frontman 15r: What are my options for a dead transformer?

Wed, 17 Feb 2021 01:27:14 -0700

I have a frontman 15r with an open loop on the primary winding of the transformer. 240 V in, and nothing out on the primary or secondary. Does anyone have a schematic for the 15r? Or does anyone know the primary and secondary voltage out of the transformer, so I can find a new one!

I have even gone as far as rewinding the primary on the transformer with no luck, ended up with a 180 Ohm loop on the primary which poped the fuse quickly! lol

Fender Frontman 15r: Fender 15r amp has no response to cable.

Mon, 06 Mar 2017 23:57:48 -0700

I hadn't used my amp for awhile, so I plugged it in and was playing, and it was working great. I was messing with the drive button and was generally adjusting everything to relearn what it would do. At some point after using the headphone jack etc. etc... It now will not respond to plugging my guitar in. Here is the weird part it sounds like it has a mic plugged in to it. I can tap on the front panel and it sounds like when you tap on a mic. It doesn't pop or anything when you plug in the cable like it should. Any ideas?
