Fender 46-Pro Operation Manual

the Professional CONTROL PANEL FUNCTIONS

B

A. PILOT JEWEL - Illuminates if the Professional is receiving power. Should this
bulb burn out, unscrew the red jewel and replace the lamp with a type T47 bulb.

B. INST. VOL. - Controls the loudness of the INSTRUMENT inputs ONLY.
C. MUTE SWITCH - Located under the chassis between the INST. Vol. and the

MIC. VOL. This Switch mutes the instrument inputs ONLY. It is used to mute the
guitar while still amplifying the microphone input for songs or announcements
when the guitar does not need to be amplified.

D. MIC. VOL. - Controls the loudness of the MICROPHONE input ONLY.
E. INSTRUMENT INPUTS - Both inputs have equal volume/gain and are

intended for guitar, steel guitar, or accordion inputs.
F. MICROPHONE INPUT - This is a slightly brighter input with its own volume

control. Intended as a microphone input, it sounds great with guitar too.

G. TONE - Functions as the on/off switch and as a brightness control. Any
rotation above “OFF” will turn the amplifier on. 1 is the brightest setting, getting
progressively less bright as the dial is rotated towards 12.

H. FUSE - The fuse is in the AC supply of the amplifier and will help to protect the
amplifier in the event of an electrical fault or tube failure. If a fuse blows, replace it
only with one of the same type and rating, T2A 250V. NEVER use a fuse with a
higher current rating, this could damage the equipment and present a serious
safety hazard. If the amplifier repeatedly blows fuses, it should be taken to an
authorized Fender warrantee service center.

I. LINE CORD - Your amplifier is equipped with a 3-prong grounding type supply
cord to reduce the possibility of shock due to electrical fault. Be sure to connect
it to a grounded receptacle. DO NOT ALTER THE AC PLUG!

Note: To ensure the longevity of the electronic components of your amp, it
is important that you plug in and turn on your amplifier for at least 2 minutes
once a month.

TROUBLESHOOTER'S CHECKLIST

If the amp is set up but does not function, check the following items

-Is the amp power cord properly plugged into an electrical outlet?

-Is there power at the outlet?

-Is the fuse blown?

-is there a hiss coming from the speaker?

-Is the MUTE switch activated? (Instrument channel only).

-Are the amplifier VOLUME controls above 0?

-Is the instrument volume control turned up?

-Is the TONE control above 0? (This is also the power switch).
(Eliminate any effects pedals and try another guitar cord.)

Check the 5U4 tube to see that the tube filaments are glowing.

If, after checking all of the above, the system is not performing correctly, consult
your Fender authorized service center.

The Maple cabinet may be cleaned like other fine wood furniture. Always unplug

the amplifier before cleaning or approaching it with fluids. Avoid spilling liquids on

operating surfaces, grill cloths, controls, switches and speaker.
