Members Syyle Posted July 18, 2009 Members Share Posted July 18, 2009 Specifically the input jacks on the back side. Is something burned out here? I notice some funny discoloration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chad_sux Posted July 18, 2009 Members Share Posted July 18, 2009 When those things go, you CAN see it. That said, they do melt down. I had one. A tech rewired it mono for me and put metal jacks in there and I never had another problem with it. As far as that pic, everything looks ok to me.

Members Syyle Posted July 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 18, 2009 Okay, my problems must be in my amp head then. I am getting some bottoming out issues; I wonder if I am mis-matching ohms or something elementary like that... Maybe I have a blown fuse in my head...?

Members Reauchambeau Posted July 18, 2009 Members Share Posted July 18, 2009 buy a cheap multi-meter to check the impedence of the cab with the switch in mono mode, and then in stereo mode. that's the only real way to know. those swithches have been known to fail. I've had it happen to me. I also put a metal jack in and wired it mono 4ohms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Syyle Posted July 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 19, 2009 anyone know anything about the problems that arise from a blown head fuse? would bottoming out be a symptom of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NaturalBornBoy Posted July 19, 2009 Members Share Posted July 19, 2009 anyone know anything about the problems that arise from a blown head fuse? would bottoming out be a symptom of that? Blown fuse = no sound If you replace the blown fuse with a correct replacement and it still blows, I'd replace the power tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OverDriven Posted July 19, 2009 Members Share Posted July 19, 2009 The bottoming out is likely that post in the middle of the cab slapping the back panel as it vibrates. To fix this, cut out a small square of carpet or other thick, soft material. Cut it to the size of the end of the post, and glue it on there. That will pad the post against the back panel, and will prevent the problem you are having if it is caused by that post (which is the most likely explaination).

Members Syyle Posted July 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 19, 2009 that's a cool fix, i'll will definitely give that a try. another problem that is occurring, is when i palm mute any heavy distortion, the lights flicker in the house and i am plugging into a very reliable power source. any thoughts on that? it's a SS head by the way, no tubes.

Do you live in an older house? Sometimes in older houses (like mine) the circuit breakers are rated too low to use a ton of stuff on, so sometimes lights will flicker or dim a bit. IIRC one of our breakers was rated at about 15v when by modern standards they should be about 20v, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Syyle Posted July 19, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 19, 2009 nah, the house isn't really that old. as far as the sound bottoming out, i was experiencing at both my jam space and at a gig; so i am really doubting the power source has anything to do with it...but i am wondering if there is some issue with how the amp is receiving the power.
