Fender Fm25dsp 1x10' Guitar Combo Amplifier Questions & Answers
Low volume on acoustic and jazz amp type
Ok, so I hope you realize the Fender FM25DSP guitar amplifier is an "entry level" NON-valve amp with a DSP chip that has model shaping tones. I am sorry but this is a toy and Fender did not spend the tens of thousands of US dollars to have built-in tones that truly 'kill". This not digital modelling like Line 6 or Fractal Audio did and so you have a problem from the start. This amp was always intended as an entry level amp for the bedroom only and never to be used on stage.
Jazz and acoustic modes have some similarities requiring mid-range boost and some rounding. Not easy to achieve with a DSP chip that costs about US$10 to manufacture. Sorry, consider using the amp for practice but look at a more serious valve amps for live on stage
Imput plug not picking up
Inspect the jack for damage... including solder where it attaches to the circuit board. Common problem when someone trips over a guitar cable. Loop the cable through the handle of the amp to REDUCE the chance of this failure.
I'm missing the volume pot and dont know which one
There are two volume controls. One is "drive volume" the other just "volume"
The plain volume control is a 50K ohm, linear taper.(A) old marking
The Drive volume is a 100K ohm Log taper.(C) old marking
Find suitablel parts at DigiKey.com or Mouser.com or find a Febder repair center to order the part.
From other than Fender, You may have to shorten the shaft with a hacksaw to match your needs.
Outboard effects
Hey Jay
Some amps have whats known as an effects loop. That is two Jacks that will be labeled something along the lines of "Effects loop in" and another "out" you can use these to run your pedal or rack systems and still keep your front input free. Although most pedal systems are designed to run through that input.
Alternatively you could run one lead from you guitar which splits off into two, one would run to an Amp the other through your effects to a second amp or possible to the second channel of the original amp.
If you want more specific advice you'd have to give me the details of your amp and effects and i can help you out further.
Cheers

You might have a ground problem. Does it do it in different outlets or when you take it to someone else's house? One easy solution to ground problems can be running a three prong to two prong adapter on the power cable. Give that a try and see if it helps.
How to operate an acoustic fender electric guitar Fishman tuner
If it's the same as mine, the tuner has a little clothespin clip. You clip that on to your guitar's headstock and turn it around till you can see the screen while picking strings. The tuner picks up vibrations through the headstock and with it's microphone and it tells you what it hears. The little needle tells you the note and if the string you're plucking is below that note, above that note or right on. You have to figure out if you're in the right octave on your own.

How can i control 2 different fender hot rod deluxe 3's drive channels with just 1 footswitch? Thank you in advance
You could buy a Lehle switch, or simply use one on each separately. If you are using a multieffect unit you could make a Y cable to take the output to both amps but that will not allow you to select the drive channel - you still need the Fender footswitch for that, one for each amp. Lehle is a German company and they make a lot of different footswitch combinations but you will pay for the convenience.
I recommend the Fender single button footswitch for this use - Type: Footswitch
Number of Footswitch Buttons: 1
Manufacturer Part Number: 0994052000
It's about $35.00 each, compared to the Lehle which starts at $200. Just put the two side by side and make a metal bar to attach to the two switches - then you have a single bar to activate both drive channels at the same time. I recommend using aluminum bar stock with holes drilled into it for the switches, or find a C channel aluminum bar that will put the footswitch buttons in the channel. You can also make it one inch overhang past both switch bodies and then use bolts to keep the bar in place. If I was doing this I would mount the footswitches on a board and secure the bar to be on top of the footswitches, using coil springs to maintain the bar's alignment vertically at the end bolts.

Guitar amp input not working
Get inside it and check the connections to the plug especially any shielding / braiding. Resolder the connections.
