Re: amp issues
Not sure exactly what you're asking. Are you saying that the "drive volume" goes from low to high volume with nothing in between?
Do you have the "gain" all the way up?
Could be a bad pot. You could have it repaired, but I would suggest saving that money to invest in a better amp.

Re: amp issues
That is actually typical with that amp. Fender used the wrong taper pot for the volume knob. I built a volume box for mine and put it in the effects loop. I was able to dial in my tone and turn it down so I didn't piss off the neighbors.

Re: amp issues
i figured it was somethin like that. how big a pain in the ass is it to repair? cuz i really like this amp i just dislike its lack of a volume.

Re: amp issues
The volume box I was talking about is basically a volume pedal in knob form. So, either would work.

Re: amp issues
Simple answer..."no".
I've been using this for 10 years. Works great and never had a problem with it. I got this stereo model to control two amps, but it works fine in mono mode.
