Hey guys. I sold my mesa boogie dc-10 combo to a friend six months ago, now when this guy was trying it out one of th output tubes blew and took the fuse with it. as i was moving over sees I sold it to him and told him that a set of tubes and a fuse will fix the problem. so I said to him. "give me a call as soon as you put the tubes in so you can tell me whats goin on " but nothing. now six months later he is sending abusive emails saying that the amp needs to be completely re wired and that i riped him off. Now I owned this little babby from brand new for six years so i would like to think I know it inside out. do any of you guys have any suggestions as to what the problem could be ? it bassicaly makes no sound. also a relivent point to add is that my drummer put a hole in one of the speakers and had it re conned. i never used it with the speakers in the amp because I had a 4x12 this could also be a problem. I have no idea what this guy has done to this poor amp for the last six months but he knows nothing a bout tube amps. so as you can imagine its like talking to a brick wall. please if anyone has some advice I would love some help. cheers
It could be any of a number of things. You are going to have to debug it. Is it really blowing tubes? Think maybe a shorted bias cap. Do you have a schematic for it? That will help.
well mate my biggest problem is that I am now living in sweden and the amp is in australia yeah i am pretty sure it was the tubess because I could see that one of them was on its way out before it blew. when the guy was playing it it just went silent. these dudes dont know a single thing so im having alot of trouble trying help them and all are doing is gettin pissed at me.
If I were you, I'd have them take it to someone. There's no way I'd try to drive debugging a busted amp 1/2 way 'round the world with someone that isn't a technician trained in high voltage or at least is good at this sort of thing already. Chris
