Members logansc Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 We were trying out my friends amp before a show to borrow, it was a hughes and kettner switchblade 212, yeah they sorta suck I know, and we tried running it through our Crate cabinet with what we later realized was a bad speaker cable. It still turns on and what not, nothing looks broken, but no sound will come to the speaker, either to the speakers on the amp, or to another cab. What could be broken? Speaker outputs? Input? What?

Is it a tube amp? A bad speaker cable is at least as bad as not connecting a cab at all. Is there any hiss at all coming out of the speakers? Maybe the OT opened up?

Members knucklefux Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 are you really this stupid? you have CONSTANT problems because you are CONSTANTLY half assing {censored}. i mean ALL THE {censored}ING TIME. let me tell you what you've done to your "friend's" amp...you blew up the output transformer. the kicker is that you somehow thought that the CRATE cabinet would sound better than the speakers in the combo, which is just plain retarded. this is what you get.

LOL, although id like to say that i dont personally remember the OP having other posts like this, but i still think this is funny. Is it a tube amp? A bad speaker cable is at least as bad as not connecting a cab at all. Is there any hiss at all coming out of the speakers? Maybe the OT opened up? And this is the answer. Did you leave the amp plugged into the cab while no sound was coming out? This would be bad, very bad if it that is what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That switchblade is going to suck a lot more now that you've likely blown the output transformer. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members joemudge4 Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 check all the fuses. i don't know anything about that amp, but sometimes fuses are mounted inside on the circuit board as well. otherwise, you blew the output tranny. try not to die if you open it up.

Members knucklefux Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 i DO like smarties. and i didn't mean i'm sorry as in i apologize...maybe i should have said "i'm afraid" instead...you know, just as a preface to the admission of my asshole status. i mean, if the kid wanted someone to give him a hug and tell him everything is gonna be ok, he should have posted the problem somewhere else.

Members HKSblade1 Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 Is the standby switch OFF or On? Did you plug into the correct speaker jack? Should be 2x16 jack for the combo. Hopefully you didn't plug into the fx loop jacks directly below Do the output tubes glow?? If not> check , replace the 1.6 or 2A fuse. Mine's a 3Amp but the combo may be less, not sure. its internal and you have to pull the amp chassis out. only do this is you know WTF you are doing. OTT take it to a tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT take it to a tech The tubes glow, they look fine. I plugged it into the correct jack, it was definitely the cable. You can see where it is broken on the inside. And the cable that runs to the amps speakers was also plugged back into the correct jack. I'll look at the fuse, but assuming there not broken what is this gonna cost me from a tech do you think?

Members Sixtonoize Posted April 21, 2008 Members Share Posted April 21, 2008 If the jack is the problem, then you're STILL going to blow your OT. You should just stop, really. Take your amp to a good tech, and get some lube. If you keep trying to fix it, you'll only make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
