Fender pa 100 vs questions.
« on: March 08, 2013, 09:14:24 pm »
If you had one, what would you do to it? I'm new to fender amps, so I figured I'd pick some brains.

And.. What is the best way to begin to understand my amp. I mean, what can, or can't I do to it. How to understand the way it's wired... Ect.

Get a copy of the schematic and study it. Then compare it to other schematics from Fender and maybe other companies.

If I had one I'd leave it alone and play acoustic guitar or keyboard, maybe even plug a mic into it. Search this forum for "fender pa100" for some more ideas.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

I've searched, most of the threads are years old. I'll keep looking.

Thats a unique amp and you should keep it as it is. Like Steve said use it for acoustic,keyboard or PA. It's a beefy powerful good amp
