you are right..it ended up burning up like 5 or 6 things inside the amp...it was bad...what's crazy though is now that's it's fixed, it actually sounds even better then when i first heard it and loved it..that first night before it messed up, i had feedback..nothing terrible..but enough to where i figured i'd buy a noise gate....now, NO feedback...the tech i go to is REALLY good...in fact, Jerry at fja (who now i consider one of the nicest guys on earth) spent alot of time talking to my tech and going over stuff with him...he didn't have to do that and he was happy to....my tech said it was a bad tube and something to do with a heater pot or something that sounds like that (i just play..i i don't repair..lol)...none the less, he replaced the tubes with the mullard reissues..i loved them in my splawn quickrod so i wanted to go with them in the marshall...they sound incredible...this amp is honestly my dream tone...it sounds huge!...the depth and mid sweep mod is absolute heaven..i can pretty much dial everything on the amp flat (except the never turn the master past 10:00...sooooo loud!)...and i can adjust the mid sweep and depth knobs to make adjustments..it just really sounds incredible....i highly suggest looking into FJA mods if you ever wanna mod your amp...his work speaks for itself and his personality is out of this world...now i just pray it continues to work
