Little advise requested! Tube Amp cut to half volume Live? Ideas?


Recommended Posts

I have a Hughes and Kettner Statesman(excellent Amp)

 

During my Saturday performance the amp cut down to half power in the middle of a song, I was playing with a cord and moving around when it happened.

 

- I checked the cords to see if anything had come loose, wiggled the ends of cables to see if there was any output change, peeked at the tubes... There were all lit.

 

Then I litterally pumped up the volume to the amp up and finished the next 16 or so songs without a hitch!

 

 

Any Ideas as to what may have gone on??

Power tube(s). Betcha. Couple of other things it can be, tho'. Make sure your FX Loop connectors are clean. Try jumpering those to see. But my guess is a power tube gone wonky.

She is a low hour new amp, but I understand tubes. Gonna reconnect it and see if the condition still exists.

 

I just thought about this!!! 50 bucks says when I moved the cord brushed the volume knob on the POD 500X. ... The one thing I didnt think of!
