Help! I hope my amp is ok!!

butterguitar · 11-05-2009, 09:47 PM

Ok so last night I played the school talent show. My band finished our song, and we were done. I quickly flipped my Bugera 1990 amp to standby and then 5 seconds later a kid working as a stage hand, unplugged the amp. The amp was only on standby for about 5 seconds.

It is now up until 30 mins ago I did not even touch the amp. I flick on the power switch, and the light is on. I let it sit for about 5 mins, and then i switch it off of standby. There is no sound, no hiss, no nothing.

What can this be? I replaced the fuze, but to no avail. The 5881 tubes glow, Im fearing that a power tube has blown. Please help me.

Thanks

Was the cab plugged in when you tried it? Look over the basic shit, make sure it's all correct (i.e. guitar plugged in, cab plugged in, volume turned up enough to produce sound, etc etc) and report back.

There may be an internal fuse that has blown (a fuse inside of the amp chassis). Unplugging the amp while in standby can't damage anything just so you know. But check the basic shit and report back.

You might have blown an internal fuse. As stated above, always have a load plugged in when you turn on a tube amp.

The amp is plugged into the cab with a speaker cable. No sound. I switched out the speaker cable and the cab, same problem.
