Hi everyone,
First of all, I am not very knowledgable when it comes to amps. I own a fender twin reverb silverface which is in a fairly good condition and it worked perfectly fine until recently, when it wouldnt give any noise when turned on. Any ideas what could be wrong? I fear that I played with the voltage which I set to be 220V which seemed logical since I am from Europe and well, 220V is the standard.
I highly appreciate any advice.

Hi Sabko,

Well, if it worked before you changed the voltage selector switch....

Put the switch back to where it was and check for a blown fuse.

I don't own a twin, but is that reverb tank connected correctly? I would expect it to connect to reverb input and output, not to the pedal jack.

While i'm not sure if it's the main problem, it appears that the getter flashing on one of those 6L6's has seen better days.
