Got this Fender Acoustasonic 100 in for repair.
Complaint: Supposedly does strange things, the instrument channel goes pop, crackle, no audio then all of the sudden works again?
Well... Open this 15 year old sucker up and I am greeted with leaking capacitors. I changed these out, cleaned the board and
no audio out of the instrument channel, but some weirdness is gone and sounds now clean on the second channel. So I put my laptop on there and cranked the music full tilt. Sure enough, it goes crackle and pop with the bass in rhythm. Put my signal geni on it and sure enough I got to way overdrive the input to get something out of the output and sounds like sh*t spread thick on toast. 
Parts quality isn't great, if I look at the caps. Its hard to work on as the board is a multi layer board and the traces disappear.
Anyone got a schematic for a Fender Acoustasonic 100 or 150? It has a DSP also a USB etc... Have to admit, this is the newest Fender I had come in.
