Did I blow up my first amp?

This happened to my uncle about 7 years ago. A good amount of steam can reset the preamp tubes. Just plug the amp in the bathroom and turn it on standby as you run a HOT shower for about 15-30 min. Move it as close to the shower as possible but not IN. Then after 30 min,
get in the tub and flip the standby on and off a few times. All fixed...




... for us

 

 

Be careful! It sounds like he may actually try it.

 

I all seriousness,try plugging the SPEAKER CABLE from the SPEAKER OUTPUT on the amp to the SPEAKER INPUT on your speaker cabinet. Plug your GUITAR CABLE into the INPUT jack on the front of the amp and connect the other end to your GUITAR.

 

Turn on the POWER switch, but leave the amp on STANDBY for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, flip the STANDBY switch to ON and try playing your guitar. If you have any unwanted sound/noise, you may want to describe them to determine if we can diagnose them.
