I think I broke my Amp

[predz23]

I've got a Marshall avt20, during practice i use headphones. One time I just cranked the volume all the way to 10. And it stopped making guitar sounds.... all i hear now is hummmmmm..... no guitar signal gets amplified!
the serious question WHAT DO I DO NOW?

good job. let it cool down for a while and try not to blast your solid state amp anymore.

you don't have to be that sarcastic right... he's just seeking help. Anyway, dude same thing happened to me almost a year ago, thank god it was just some crappy brand amp. It was beyond repair and i had to buy a new amp. :???:

it has a tube preamp

solid state amps aren't meant to be blasted, that's my point. i say let it cool down for a while and see if it works. if it doesn't, it might be your guitar or pedal or something so check those too.

if the amp is blown, it is blown. get it to an amp tech if you wanna fix it. if the cost of fixing is gonna be more than the cost of getting a new amp, just get a new amp. tough luck you blew it.

I think you killed it alright , i had a marshall mg 30 (well i still have it) and i turned it up to 12 and blew the thing hahahaha , it's still dead .


Metalhead1993 - I don't think Daryl was being sarcastic so stop getting all defensive kid

if you had your headphones on when you cranked it to 10, and all you hear now is hum, i'm afraid the problem could be worse than you thought, because it's obviously not the amp that's blown, but something else...

^ i think he would know if his eardrums burst >_<

i turned it up to 12

whoa! mine only goes to 11

Most 10 to 20 watters uses a specific type of chip for the power amp.
If the power section is blown, its still pretty fixable. I'm not saying its easy, but fixable.

So if its blown, its doesnt automatically turn into furniture.

 

[predz23]

a glimmer of hope at least. If its broken forever I'm getting the exact same one
