...and I'm not hearing anything. It worked fine in the store. Is it possible that Fender gave me a faulty plug-in cord?

and you know the amp/cab is ok?

It means you should go record an album using synths.

1. Place guitar in corner
2. Wait several decades
3. Go through identity crisis
4. Make techno record

Do you really want to go back to the store and have them laugh at you for not figuring out what's wrong?

Just go back and make like the amp was so good you want another one.

The delay was set far too high. You'll start hearing those notes you churned out over the next couple of days.

no its clearly that you have the amp set to 'dog-frequencies', there's a switch at the bottom that takes the amp back to human-friendly tones..

Try playing the bassline of professionalism.

You are experiencing a foretaste of what life is like for Pete Townshend. It's your basic hearing impairment with chronic tinnitus caused by years of exposure to sounds exceeding 100dB. This may or may not dissuade you from learning to play the electric guitar.

Or...

It's the volume control. Set it to a value >0.

yes. place a bunsen burner under the amplifier and count to 100.
