Odd sounding amp

[eSGEe]

bias probe for 34

great porn movie.....................................wait what forum.......oh --- forgive me

 

[Jethro Rocker]

OK try jumping a cable from send to return.

But I think the bias is too cold....from the sound of it.

There was a shorted guitar plug in FX return when I went to see it. Tried that here too.

just trying to flip a profit --- er I mean Help a brother out

yeah the combos weigh a lb or 12

Even if shipping is 100 bucks, I would hope repair wouldnt be more than 200 as I am footing only half the bill.

They are EL84s lamentably. I have a bias probe for 34s but again, it seems unlikely to be the problem. That farty belch it lets out.
When i got my Marshall 6101 EL34 it aounded a bit anemic. One side was 12 mV! Yes, 12. Still worked, didnt stinker out like that. Plus that LED circuitry is supposed to work very well for weeding out bias amd or tube issues.

When the bias is set too cold, it will make that sound....
I'll have a look at the schematic but 601 483 5365 is the number for the techs.
They will usually send you schematics.

What?
I don't understand.

Like jumpering apparently. More jam to it for those that dont use fx I guess.

It sounded ok at dudes but seemed quiet when plug pilled outts return jack. Didnt stinker like that. I can also just adjust bias screw while listening amd see if it changes anything. Slowly, mind...

Here is the description in manual of the LEDs.

 

[Jethro Rocker]

Seems pretty foolproof that way.

 

[Jethro Rocker]

I just turned bias screw. One way it sounded thinner (colder) the other way it ballsed up but still had that stinker. Tried fx loop, different cable and guitar. Its going to the shop tomorrow.
Thanks lads!

balls. Hopefully not that. Easy fix though.

Well, you did say you got this to stinker around with it.....
sorry.

Hope you get it sorted without much headache or $$.

I plugged in my 5e3 earlier in the week and it is not behaving.......
Gear trouble - we are not alone.
We have never been - alone.

Did you connect send to return with a guitar cable?
Did it sound any different?

Yes I did. Nope. Still ty. It went off for service today. Could be cold joints to dead parts, I dunno...

How many channels on that thing? Is it SS? Cause I have that covered with the Katana. I like that the litrle Peavey has a clean channel and separate EQ for drive channel PLUS a built in boost volume/gain. Nice featured little 20 watter.

 

[Session 5]

Yep its SS Jethro.
The new Orange Crush 35RT combo is an extremely affordable-but-versatile Crush Series amp that does away with digital multieffects in favor of a simpler control layout with classic performance features, like two-channel operation.
