Guitarzan Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 well here is the story, i got home from the studio sunday night, my amp had to ride inside Jim's Dakota extended cab. it was a tight fit with the 4 guitar and various other stuff. anyay while digging it out of the back seat i bumped it into the front seat, this broke the reverb knob! i didn't think to much about it until i powered up today and discovered my master volume was controlling my delay time, right before the volume died altogether. CRAP!!!!! seeing its a digital amp i can only assume that the motorised pot was somehow affected causing confusion in the amp. well upon further inspection i found a blown fuse. i won't know if thats all it is until tomorrow. i have no sound!!!!! i am going nuts. i really love this amp. this weekend i used the xlr out for tracking some guide tracks and it sounded great. i was suprised. i sure hope its only the fuse. i definately would be unable to get another amp this time of year. please don't go DG100. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiC Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I sure hope it's only a fuse! So, what lessons have you learned to pass onto the rest of us?

A String Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I sure hope it was the fuse. Was there any sound before the fuse blew? Craig Stringnetwork on Facebook String Network Forum My Music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarzan Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 yes, i was trying out a patch that the revo sent me. actually the bassman patch was happening until i tried turning up the volume and then it slowly morphed into delay time. weird. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauce Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 ah geez, good luck 'zan. i hope your amp is okay. Then you'll never hear surf music again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Thorne Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I have a Dakota club cab and getting my amp in and out of the back IS a hairball. I got a cap; the bed is lined already so that works out pretty well. Definitely take the minivan next time. Hope your amp is o.k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarzan Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 yeah , 73 lbs of 2x12 combo is awkward to say the least. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caevan O’Shite Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I would definitely make sure of whether or not there was damage to the printed circuit board when the reverb knob was smacked. Chances are that the pots are mounted directly to the PCB; the pot's shaft could have taken a direct blow and been shoved in there hard enough to damage solder joints, circuit traces, or even the board itself... Sorry to talk all glum and negative here, but I'd want to be sure of whether or not firing it up with a new fuse would just cause further damage... the fuse certainly didn't blow just because you bumped it! Fuses don't "go bad", they blow for a reason, that reason being to take the damage that the other components would if the fuse wasn't there to blow instead of them...

Guitarzan Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 i know what you are saying Philmour graves. when the sound died i still had full use of the motorised pots and the display functioned normal. just no sound after the master volume decided it was the delay adjustment. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, 73 lbs is quite a bit, especially for a modeling amp! What's in there, an anvil and some brass monkeys?

Guitarzan Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 BIG BALLS! seriously this amp isn't your typical modeler. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave da Dude Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I'm afraid that I've got to agree with ole' Werewolf Dancer here. IF the fuse is blown, don't just replace it. Find out WHY it blew first, otherwise more damage with a new fuse and power is a distinct possibility btw, my tube amp (1 x 12 combo) weighs in at about 70 pounds or so, so I can feel your (back) pain Gotta' geetar... got the amp. There must be SOMEthing else I... "need". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarzan Posted October 7, 2004 Author Share Posted October 7, 2004 i found the problem, when the cases were put in the back seat, one of them must have hit the speaker jack (plastic) anyway i discovered it was broken and the one lead not connected, must have shorted and blew the fuse. all i need is a new jack installed. unless of course something else was taken out before the fuse went. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitarzan Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 well i had to work all weekend, so my buddy was going to search for a fuse. he did find one but forgot where he put it. my wife was going to pick up the jack for me when she went shopping, didn't happen. so i will do it this week since i am off a few days. i will probably check the circuit board anyway to verify it isn't damaged before i go any further. i am hoping i have it purring by friday. i need a wheel bearing for the van so i have that to deal with first. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=193274 rock it, i will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
