  • Fender Mustang II amp no output, looking for schematic

    Hi All fellow repair techs,

    I'm working on a Mustang II amp with no output, first I thought it would just changing the TDA7294 IC, which I did, still no sound.
    After looking up the IC's specs and getting some voltage info, I found the mute and standby voltages were missing.
    Using two 9v batteries I replaced the missing power to the IC, and the amp came on.
    Without a schematic this looks like a real tough repair to find the problem, does anyone have a schematic of this amp?

    Regards
    Dean C

    If you do not have a schematic on hand, make one.

    Follow the mute pin back & draw it.

    Marshall uses a transistor & a zener diode/ capacitor to slower ramp up the voltage (anti turn on thump).

      Hi jazz p Bass

      Thanks for the reply, IF it was a Marshall I could do that, the problem is its all surface mount components and has a large micro processor board mounted on top of it.
      The mute voltage is not coming from the switching power supply directly cause I've checked that out already.

        I haven't been inside one, but check the input jack it could trigger the mute as well as the headphone jack, etc.

          So call Fender and ask for the schematic.

            Thanks for the idea Bill,

            I checked the jacks and they are good.

              Thanks Enzo,

              But I am not an authorized service repair center for Fender.

                And you don't always have to be. Call them, the worst that could happen is they say "no."


                Never think up reasons not to check something.

                  I would check the resistance of the mute pin to ground.

                  If it's open, then something in the mute circuit is blown.

                  At that point, find a 5 volt source & hook it up to the pin.

                        thanks vintagekiki
                        But I already have the schematic of the amplifier, my problem is that I have no voltage in the mute or stand by, I have no sound at the output, I see that comes from the transistor Q100 2N4403 ,
                        That's why I ask if that's the problem, sorry my English i´m Spanish

                          Hi Petard,

                          After begging to Fender at least four times, someone did send the schematics.
                          It was a bad 15 volt regulator IC either U107 or U108 I don't remember it was a couple years ago.

                          regards
                          Dehn

                            Ok Dehn thank you so much,i will watch IC ,i hope that's the problem, this IC is on the motherboard?
