MG100HDFX OD chnl shortout-pop

Jason_the_Chef · 10-14-2009, 12:45 AM

Hi, I have had this Marshall for about a half year now, it's the MG100HDFX in gray, so far it has been a nice addition. I play a Gibson SG special through a couple of Boss pedals. About a month ago, I was playing a loop from my DD-7 digital delay, into my Marshall, with an emulated line out into a Crate practice amp(with a nice dirty sound). The half stack hardly had any noise coming out of it, and the master volume on my Marshall controlled the Crate volume.

I was already in the Overdrive 2 channel, and was using 2 overdrive/fuzz pedals to give it more ooph, and about 20 minutes into the jam, my top speakers had started to pop everytime I struck the strings decently hard. The sound is like a broken speaker sound, and only comes on when I increase my picking strength.

In my video, I play on clean, switch to crunch, then to overdrive1, which is fine (until I turn on a boost pedal), then to overdrive 2 which at any volume will still pop the broken speaker sound. Yet the clean channel is completely fine, all speakers work fine even with loud distortion pedals. Watch and see if you can hear it. Any ideas??

WELL**** I can't convert and put my video on youtube because i dont have the right computer to do it with tonight, I'm going to have to do it tomorrow****

I'm wondering if it could be a fuse of some sort, I hesitate to bring it to one of these music stores as they will for sure try to sell me something I dont even need.

I'm finding the red channel too "thin". I'd like to get it a bit more full sounding.
I'm taking it to my tech guy tonite but I'd like to be able to offer up some suggestions to him.

Well if it's only a couple of speakers doing it, it's more than likely a couple of blown speakers. If it were anything in the amp you'd hear that sound through all of the speakers.

Just to confirm, listen very closely to each speaker and make sure that it's only coming through the top speakers as you stated above.

It is not a fuse. Sounds like the speakers are blown. Don't take it to a store, take it to a tech.
