Hi everybody,
Got a "new" used 2008 supersonic 112 for a week, i've noticed that the amp breaking up at 2 on the Bassman mode and a little higher on the Vibrolux mode, is it normal? do changing the tubes will fix that?
Thanks for your Help.

Usher.

Hi usheriko,

What kind of guitar (pups) are you using? High output pups, such as hum-buckers or active pups will cause earlier breakup.

It's really hard to know what your definition of "breakup" is, or whether it's normal for this amp.

Probably need some more info from you. Do you have another amp to compare to this one? Can you describe what you mean exactly by breakup?

Maybe you can post a sound clip.

Do you have a meter and can you read schematics?

Yes, I've got a Blues junior and it keeps clean in much higher volume.
with the SS on volume 1-2, when playing gentle it keeps clean but when i strum more aggressively it gets dirty.
maybe it needs biasing :idea:
i think i'll take it to the shop for a check up.

Thanks anyway
Usher.
