picker Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Anybody know the ins & outs with Peavey Triumph amps? Mine just shot craps after being on for a few minutes. Can't find a fuse on the back. I really hope it isn't one of those jugheaded designs that has the fuse inside, and you have to take it all apart to replace it! Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertbluesman Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Looks like the fuse is inside the amp. See picture below. Fuse is near the right side of the picture above to the orange wires. https://www.google.com/search?q=Peavey+Triumph+60+fuse+position&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwji4ZDxoL3dAhXpwMQHHfQxBzsQ7Al6BAgAEA0&biw=1525&bih=696#imgrc=vFPRuRdBxRC-uM: dbm If it sounds good, it is good !! http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=143231&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 A few times when repairing Peavey amps for friend here and there over the years, I opened them up to find disgusting syrup-like residue on the circuit-boards, left over from sloppy manufacturing, and lots of poor quality cold-solder-joints and damaged looking traces on the PCB's. I touched-up many solder-joints, cleaned everything, jumpered a few PCB traces, and added RTV compound (kinda like high-grade silicon caulk) to wobbly capacitors and other such components. I was told each time that these amps were quieter and better sounding after I'd fixed 'em up than they were when they were new! YYMV, but look for stuff like that if you peek under the hood.

d halfnote Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Darned drag there, PMan, but I'm less helpful than if I were WFang. Why'm I here ? T'let ya' know that, whatever else, I'd put my money behind CO'S's advice. Ya gotta 'member that----& this will seem a commentary on social issues, mebbe----Peavey amps, while a positive force overall, were mostly manufactured ("manufractured" ?) by a workforce that was not drawn from experts. That might be said of Fender, or others, as well but since the impetus ws local-force development for federal funding, there were prolly consistently lower standards, even over the long term.... Was Peavy, like Leo F, a committed electronics cat working for musos or a bizcat, like Carvin, wrangling in on the growing gtr amp biz of the 1960s ? I'll abide by other, more knowledgeable comments.... d=halfnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to be less loquacious these days. I figured "Thanks, guys." covered it. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.

picker Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Got the amp back from the tech today. Cost me $82 to find out it was a fuse. I would have opened it up myself, but I feared I would get the snot knocked out of me by touching the wrong thing. And, I didn't have a replacement fuse anyway. Always remember that you are unique.

Glad ya got it up and running again, sorry it was a bit pricey. Was that fuse particularly hidden away and awkward to get at?

Scott Fraser Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 The real question is what caused the fuse to burn? Some other hidden problem which still needs addressing? Scott Fraser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larryz Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 +1 and it may not even be the amp. It can be wherever you plugged the amp in or in a power cord, a strip problem, etc. Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
