Hi everybody,

I didn't see this issue yet in this forum (googled it too)
2 days ago, I was playing and at some point, the amp began to sound some crackling noise.
I've check any issue with my jack cable and replaced it. Always cracking noise :(

I turned off the amp, and turned it on few hours later.
But it didn't want to start (no light glow on main led, no sound).
(No burned smell).
I checked the power cable, wall outlet, fuse (and replaced all to be sure) but nothing to do ...

I'm afraid that the power supply unit is the problem but I can't confirm that point right now.

Anyone has already had this trouble ?


Thanks

Remove the fuse holder on the back and check for a burnt out fuse.

It could be one or both 6V6 tube.

1-I would remove boths 6V6s tubes,
2- Put a new know good fuse

If fuse don't blow , l will put two new 6V6s

Hello all,

thanks for your reply :)
I "resolved" few days ago my issue...

When I pulled off again my fuse, I could see a strange thing.
I decided to unscrew my amp and the thing that hold the fuse was broken (plastic stuff).

I don't why... no fall for the amp

I glued it back both parts, replugged the fuse and it worked back \o/.
I took photos about the broken stuff but I haven't them right now.
I will post when I have.

Best is to replace the fuse holder.

Glue may not work long time on plastic and you may have same issue in few months and make same post here :lol:

Fuse holder are very easy to find and to replace.
Be carefull to choose the right one. This one is for 3AG type fuse.
And for the size for the hole of your amp
