Members guitarist17 Posted June 11, 2006 Members Share Posted June 11, 2006 My engl savage had been doing all kinds of weird {censored} lately. loud background hum, that would come and go, volume drops, gain loss etc. I found out the issue i had was a loose preamp tube socket! My buddy mark (axeman720) took a look at it, and had me play why he fiddled with the preamp tubes, and sure enough, he came to v2, pushed on it/wiggled it a bit, and you could tell that the tube socket was loose. So, how much is it usually to fix this problem? seems to be a more common issue/less severe type of problem. on a high note, i ran my 5150 and savage 120 half stacks live tonight, and the savage made it the whole way through with no issues. seems to come and go, and the tone was awesome. savage isnt going anywhere, unless its for a quickrod, and thats a MAYBE Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Osmosis Posted June 12, 2006 Members Share Posted June 12, 2006 Originally posted by guitarist17 hello? can i get any help....PLEASE!?!?!?!?? My savage had the same problem a few years ago, got it fixed by a tech for like $25...no biggie. Originally posted by Megadeth7684 My Savage sold on Ebay in about 2 hours today dude. $1700 Holy crap...at those prices I would seriously consider selling mine! It's been a great amp for me for many years but I don't play it much since I kinda got away from the metal scene a few years ago. I got mine back before they got "cool" and the prices increased, $1200 I could turn a healthy profit! It's in great condition, and is loaded with NOS GE 6550A mp tubes ($75 each! ), and would come with the $200 engl midi interface... Hmmm...anyone wanna make me an offer? :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
