Pr3Va1L Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Alright here's the situation... I was playing today pretty loudly (almost max volume) and my tube amp decided to stop doing any sound whatsoever... Now it seems to work (channel switch and such work and power tubes are lit) but it does not make a sound at all no matter what I do... I checked both the fuse and the speaker with an ohmmeter and both are still good... What could the problem be?? Anyone has an idea? Could it be repairable by my father (he's an electrician btw)?? Also, anyone knows where I could get the schematics for a Crate Blue Voodoo 60w combo (BV-60)? I guess I could find a schematic for the 120w head, anyways... Thanks guys!

gripper Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 (edited) Impedence select switch, effect loop jack, main speaker jack, footpedal jack and standby switch all are culprits on those Crates. Turn volume way up on channel 2 and listen for the background hum. If not there, shut off and clean the imp. switch. SLM will be happy to supply you with a tech manual.

Pr3Va1L Posted March 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 well, i've narrowed it down... It's the power amp. I just ran the preamp to another amp and it works so it has to be in the power amp... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Could you have fried your speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr3Va1L Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 well, as I said in my 1st post, I checked them with an ohmmeter and it reads at ~10 ohms And also there's a balanced output and I checked it with a meter and there's no output Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Did you check the obvious power tube failure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr3Va1L Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 well, no, it's one thing i'll be checking soon (haven't had much time) but they're new and they still light up when I open the amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
