Members satannica Posted September 28, 2012 Members Share Posted September 28, 2012 Good idea? Or do they make your amp overheat and die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thefyn Posted September 28, 2012 Members Share Posted September 28, 2012 If your head has a closed back and a vent on top recto style then you maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay have a slight problem if you play in a 100 degree Florida garage etc. If it is Marshall style, go for it.

Members Cirrus Posted September 28, 2012 Members Share Posted September 28, 2012 I think apart from the heat thing with a small proportion of designs, the only downside is that they look a bit utilitarian on stage; not quite as sexy as a naked amp head.

Members mamberg Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 Probably not a lift off - huh? Did you always take the back off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members satannica Posted September 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 Nope, it was a tubular type one, if that makes sense. The front and back comes off and voila. Nope, never took the back cover off, the gift on hindsight, eh? Hahaha. Well, it's at the amp fixing place now, so just waiting on a sitrep. The plot thickens though. I'd left it on for a few days by mistake with the front case cover on. It seemed fine when i discovered it. But next rehearsals, power cut and the whole thing died; it wouldn't fire up at all after that. Tried the fuses, no dice. Never mind, just wait for the bill, eh?

Members Slaymoar Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 Get a small 10" desk fan. Point it towards the back of the amp. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members duncan Posted September 29, 2012 Members Share Posted September 29, 2012 I've never had an issue. I highly doubt a 6505 would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
