I Just bought a brand new Fender Hot Rod Deville 2x12. I get no sound when i turn it on. I can hear the hum of the speaker, everything lite up, including the two 6L6 tubes. When i plug into the jack, i cant get that sound of pluggin the cable into a jack. Whats going on? Thank you

If it is new then something is a bit strange to say the least. Turn all the knobs to midpoint. If it is going to click/pop then you will definitely hear it. Switch to standby, then power to on for a minute then standby to on. You should then see the 6l6 and the 3x 12AX7's all glowing. Plug into each channel. Don;t use a pedal to try any of this. If you get a pop on on ch then it can be one side of the preamp either a tube or one of the op amps on the board.
Make sure you try out the cable/guitar on a different amp to make sure it is working. Could be a cable or plug that is the problem.
Honestly if this is new I'd haul it back to the store and return it. It should just work with no hassles. Once you know your guitar/cable is not the cause then I would take it back and get them to either set it up or replace it. Something is just not right here for a brand new amp.
