Turn it on… humming quite loudly, no guitar coming out of the speaker.

 

I've already had the thing repaired.

Damn it all.

 

It really was, when I first got it. It had the tube compressed clean guitar sound… and it was balls out when cranked.

 

Then it broke…

 

Had it repaired, but after then it hummed a little generally and the mojo was well diminished. You can hear it humming in that clip.

 

Well, the hum has taken over.

 

I was going to use it to record some warm, throbby tremolo guitars tonight. No dice. Looks like pedals into the interface again…

Fairst. Who repaired it, and wat did they fix?

 

Sacond, does it have a three prong plug, or is it a two-zer?

 

Thaird, does it have two transformers?

 

Farth, kenna you take some gutshots of it? Answer the other three before you do though!

 

As a tube amp, be aware that it can retain highish voltages in its filter capacitors even once unplugged.

 

Really this just means, be careful not to stick your hand all up in the chassis when you have it open, unless you know what you are looking at and how to check and discharge the filter caps.

 

 

HOKAY.

 

So here are photos:

 

 

 

The last one seems awkward but I did it this way so you could see the back, with the parts still oriented the same way. I don't see any visible issues? Filter cap indeed?

Here are the images in a folder, much larger/more detailed: http://www.sendspace.com/file/jaz2e8

 

And here is the repair report from before: "Rewired power supply / New power cable / New coupling capacitor / Cleaned pins + pots / Tubes OK"

 

 

And here is what I ended up using instead. I thought they looked cute together, so I took a photo of this also.

 

There could be worse maps to troubleshoot, at least.

 

Agrees, Snaxie does:

 

 

The Diezel that's normally to my left (right from my persepective) does sound like a fist though, gotta admit. For how much the sharting thing costs, though, it had better!
