Just got my new Super Champ head with matching 1x12 cab and it failed. No sound from the speaker til volume hit 4 on either channel and it was very very low and stayed at that level no matter how high I cranked the volume. Was like that on both channels. I plugged headphones into the line out and got some better sound, but that was it. I checked the tubes and the 12ax7 was bent to the side. I pulled it straightened the pins and the tube lights, but now change. Not sure exactly whats wrong, but head was sent back and I will have to patiently wait for my replacement :( I kept the Cab I'll be really bummed if the new head comes and it turns out the cab was bad lol.

Maybe a bad pre-amp tube? Whatever bent it might have damaged it.

Any update yet? It's been a year and a week...I suppose with Rich68XR7's ONE post, it's obvious he/she isn't coming back...but it really could have helped another member if there'd have been a follow up post to let others know if it indeed WAS the head, the 12Ax7 tube, the cabinet, or if FUSE would have reset volume levels, or what?!?
Too many variables, and only the original poster will know the solution.

To other's reading this. Please don't be like this. If you want info/answers, that's cool (that's what we're all here for)...but it's even cooler when you can/do help others as well with the "follow-up" solutions you have found to your problems.

Yes; I realize there could be a plethora of reasons the OP never returned but, just saying. :wink:
