![]() ![]() Some amplifiers go into amplifier protect mode to avoid further damage to internal components. If the amp has good power and ground, the remote wire has voltage when the head unit is turned on, and no fuses are blown, then you're probably dealing with a busted amplifier. If the ground connection is poor or isn't connected at all, the amp might fail to turn on or not work very well. If the remote and power wires both check out OK, the next thing to look for is continuity on the ground wire. If it doesn't, check for any inline fuses and verify that the wire isn't loose, corroded, or shorted out somewhere. This wire is thicker than the remote wire, and it should have battery voltage. The power wire is the next thing to check if you find no problems with the remote wire. In this situation, the amp typically will turn on only when the head unit audio input is set to AM or FM radio. If the amp is wired incorrectly, and the remote turn-on is connected instead to the power antenna wire on the head unit, the amp might power on only sometimes. So if there is no power at the remote terminal on the amplifier, the next step is to check for power at the corresponding wire where it connects to the radio. The remote turn-on wire usually comes from the radio, in which case the amplifier won't turn on if the radio isn't on. The remote wire acts like your finger flicking a switch, where your finger is battery power, and the switch is a mechanism inside the amplifier. If the remote turn-on wire doesn't have power, your amp won't turn on. Maybe swapping out the crunchy options for a couple more acoustic models would have made it even more useful, but this remains an appealing six-string multi-tool and a genuine problem-solver for many gigging players.To turn on, the amp needs power at both the remote and power wires, in addition to a good ground. “The launch of the Acoustasonic Player Telecaster feels like a no-brainer move for Fender, spreading the potential appeal of what is virtually a whole new category of guitar. The feel of the bevelled arm rest and fingerboard edges says quality and comfort this is an inviting guitar and that Modern Deep-C neck will feel familiar to anyone who has played the electric Player series models.” ![]() A lovely dark rosewood fingerboard and bridge replaces the US version’s ebony, but that’s not anissue for us. “In terms of feel and build, we honestly can’t find a compromise between this Ensenada-made Player and the US Acoustasonics we’ve tried. ![]() MusicRadar: The onboard voice options might have been scaled down but the Acoustasonic Telecaster sticks the landing as a Player Series model, in what could be one of the guitars to make the hybrid build truly go mainstream.įender Player Series Acoustasonic Telecaster: The web says That, in sum, is the sort of thing the Acoustasonic format encourages. That said, it can be pressed into service of many different kinds of styles, perhaps some that are all your own. It is warmer, with a little more width than you’d expect from a Tele’s bridge pickup. Fender promises twang but this isn’t Pete Anderson levels of twang. Park yourself on position one for a more traditional electric guitar experience, but don’t necessarily expect a traditional Telecaster experience. In a sense, this is a sound that almost exists outside of the spectrum of acoustic/electric tones, and is sure to support pedalboard experimentation. The sound is just coming from the piezo and as you turn the blend control it adds drive. Here is where the true hybrid tones are, and as such, there are fewer references for what we are hearing. ![]()
