Members Blackie08 Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 Amp is a PT100. So I was practicing for about an hour when the volume suddenly decreased and then completely cut out. Now there is no sound whatsoever. NO hissing or any type of noise at all. I unplugged my pedal board, disengaged the loop, and plugged straight in with a couple guitars and still no sound of any kind. All 4 powertubes light up... What say ye? Bad preamp tube? BLown fuse?

Members i386 Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 Replace the fuse(s) first. Replace it even if it looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jds22 Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Fuse Preamp tubes Power tubes I'd check them in that order. Based on personal experience, I'm leaning towards preamp tubes. This happened to me once at a gig. I was playing in a 3 piece. My amp died at the very last song in our 4 set gig. If it's gonna happen, I guess that's the best time. The last half of the song was just the drummer and the bass player. For some reason, they told me that was the best the song had ever sounded.

Members shane159 Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Plug your guitar into the loop return, if you get sound then it is more than likely a pre amp tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
