Well my kids got me a new Marshall Dsl 40c for Christmas and I love the amp. BUUUUT...the other day I'm playing at a low volume in the den and suddenly no sound. There was no warning. No pop...no hiss,,,no sudden loud static...nothing. One note comes through just fine, the next note nothing.
Troubleshooting stuff I did:
Switched channels...no difference
Plugged guitar into the return of the effects loop and had sound with no tone or pre amp control
Switched from low power to high power and back, no difference
In high power, maxed gain and volume on both channels...could faintly hear the guitar through both channels...low power couldn't hear anything
My guess is a bad tube, probably v4 which is the PI...I think. I ordered a new set of tubes anyway, but any input would be welcomed. Please let me know your thoughts.
BTW, my wife and kids bought the amp through American Musical Supply. I'm not overly thrilled with their service, and I'm less impressed by Marshall USA. I've called them 3 days in a row and I'm routed to some music dealer. No one answers because "all reps are busy" and your asked to leave a message. 3 messages later and still no return phone call. If anyone has any better contact info it would be much appreciated.
