2477.0. "Fender Twin-Reverb and Mender-One" by TAEC::MALLET (to the next whammy bar...) Wed Mar 18 1992 06:47

 A friend of mine has installed a Mender one in his Silver Face 73 Twin-Reverb
 and has some problems with it.

 The Mender' channel really screams but the original clean channel has
 lot of hum, noise, ....

 Someone told him that this problem was solved with the new The Twin (Black
 face) model.

 Do you have any experience with Mender One problems on a Silver face TR ?

 Thanks in advance.

2477.1Hmmmmm.... *8^)GIAMEM::DERRICOWhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSanDiego?Wed Mar 18 1992 12:4610
   I don't personally have any experience with the 'Mender itself.
In general, the things that he can look for are: tubes going bad,
the unit itself, or the amp.
   He might try pulling the unit out, and putting the tubes in the
sockets. Then try to see if the hum is still there. If the tubes
are not bad, then it may be the amp - or even pickups/shielding
on his guitar.

2477.2Ground strap attached OK?MRKTNG::IBBETTSlowhandThu Mar 19 1992 14:596
    I have a Mender in my Pro Reverb. No noise on the clean channel at all.
    Be sure the Mender's grounding strap is attached to one of the
    convenient tube bases (far right tube as you look from the back seems
    the best).
