Those of you who have received noisy speakers may find my April posting helpful. It includes updates that describe Fender's free fix and the serial numbers of affected units. The short (no pun intended, Aaron) of it is that Fender has corrected the problem. But, as some of you have found, there are still units from the early production runs in distributors' inventories. If you have a speaker with the dreaded hiss you can either exchange it or have it fixed. I exchanged mine, but the replacement was also noisy, so I had it repaired. Fortunately I live close to an authorized service center.

It looks like Fender is using his fix; probably just until they run out of the old PCB boards and then they'll incorporate the design change into them.

@hortmusic Received it, first impressions there is definitely a hiss on this one. This one is probably NOS from Fender since it was ordered two weeks ago. It's tolerable as long as I have the noise gate on the HX Stomp on (using an SH tele, twisted tele neck, dimarzio chopper t bridge), but if I can't work something out in my patches in the next hour or two I'm probably going to return it. I love the overall tone and it definitely captures the "amp in the room" bloom feeling while maintaining clarity and I'm overall pretty impressed vs the Powercab. But I'm cool with the "hifi" tone of PA speakers and will probably ultimately go with a QSC CP series so I can play electronic music or run vocals as well. I don't want to gate my signal chain if need be, and I feel like with the FR-12 I'll have to leave it always on. Until then, I'm cool with my Kali LP-6 mk1 for now.

Fender: "Let's stick to 'it's all in your head' for the time being." Yeah, but no need to flip on a prototype (or ten) beforehand and winch at all that hiss and go back to the drawing board. ("Shh! We have product to move...maybe they won't notice!") Funny how my Blues Jr. IV is _whisper_ quiet - close up in a quiet room. But that amp had been in production for ages in its previous iterations when I bought it. Not so with the FR10 and FR12. There's no such thing, btw, as _truly_ flat response - certainly not in this price range. And that's why the inclusion of tone controls is _the_ game changer for this amp, along with its relatively light weight, and the thoughtful inclusion of the lean-back props, etc. But I feel kinda sorry for all the folks who bought this amp before that significant and annoying kink was worked out. I did my research and balked - but I'm annoyed by the sound of a feather fluttering down on a pillow from ten feet away. I'm delighted to hear that there's a bunch more people like me. MUCH APPRECIATE this vid - I was wondering when Fender would correct this.

Now I'm interested 👍

Have you any idea what sort of sound level the hiss would reach on the older ‘faulty’ versions? I’m asking as it would be a good way of knowing if I get a good one or a bad one. I’ve tried measuring the sound level my Powercab gives when it’s turned on, but nothing plugged in, and with the volume turned fully down. To my surprise the Powercab actually hisses a reasonable amount - I’ve never really noticed it before I came across all the talk about the Fender FR10/12’s hissing. Using a decibel meter app, the Powercab came to about 30dB on average; at home in a quiet room, with no-one else in the house. I’ve also managed to try the same with a Fender FR10, and to be honest, to my ears, the Powercab hiss actually seems louder. Would be good to know what sort of dB reading you’re getting with your FR12, especially as you say it’s almost silent 👍🏻

One thing that I'm really intrigued by is how different FRFR speakers can sound from each other. I'm reasonably new to the idea of reference monitors for guitars, and as I understand it the FRFR concept is that you are getting a 'reference' sound, uncoloured by the specific speaker you might have in an average guitar combo. But the Powercab sounds actually quite different from the Fender - both sound great, and you can tweak each to taste of course (or tweak your modeller either per patch or using a global EQ) But I didn't think they'd sound so different from the outset.
