I have a fender m-80 lo-250729 amp. went to play and none of the knobs change the sound, volume or input. Overdrive channel or reg. What happened and how do I fix it

Do you mean the amp produces no sound or you can't change the sound it now produces? If it does not light up or produce a "pop" at switch on check if there is a mains fuse blown. Should be one next to the mains power lead or if it uses an IEC mains conn' the socket might have a fuse in it.

Replace with EXACTLY THE SAME RATING. If that blows, tech time.

That's a pretty old amp. Hopefully its something simple like a fuse (if you are getting no sound). Are the tubes lighting up?

Flip the switch that says POWER.
 
It's been three days....do you think he figured it out yet? :D

Maybe it's just out of gas.
 
I just looked it up, you're correct - solid state. Fender Amp's 'grey fuzzy' era. Glad I was not looking at amps at that time. :eek:

Yup, gray fuzzy. They weren't terrible for a small bedroom SS amp.
