Thanks, it was recapped early this year, but who knows, maybe the tech made a mistake. Not judging, it happens. I'm reaching out to the tech Peter recommend, who also did the previous work, and see what he says.

Well, I not only reseated tubes, I replaced them all. No difference. No difference pulling the head off the cab either. Something definitely wrong with it

I'll give that a try, as I haven't done any of that. The tech did retension the sockets, but this problem started shortly after I got the amp back from him, so who knows what happened in transport. Thanks.

I have tried another cab, another guitar, another cable, single coils, humbuckers. All stays the same. I'm guessing it will need to go back to the tech, but was hoping for something more concrete as far as a problem. It's a bummer for sure.

I'm not sure how to describe this one, but looking for some help. My Herbert is making a sort of crackling noise when I sustain a chord. It's intermittent, but really annoying. If you listen to the clips below, it sounds like a sort of digital breakup on the recording, it's not. It's live in the...

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. I figured I'd be shipping this as I know I don't have an authorized Diezel tech around. If the US/Canada border weren't closed, I could drive up to Toronto maybe, but not these days.

Fuses are good, but there was a pop and smoke. With the fuses being good and not being anywhere near skilled as tech, I figure at this point, I'm just going to step away from the amp until someone with some skill can look at it. I was thinking I needed a tech anyway as the amp has not been right...

I've got an older Herbert, been losing power and having the amp cut out. Went to replace the power tubes and flipped on the power (in standby) to starting biasing the new tubes and there was a loud pop and smoke. Immediately shut it off and haven't touched it. Guessing it's going to need some...

During the process of retubing my Herbert, I came across a blown 500ma on the outer tube pair. The tubes in that pair were 6550s (now KT77s). I've replaced the fuse and all the tubes, biased to 75mA per pair as per Peter's suggestion on another thread and I'm going to keep an eye on things. Just...

What speakers came stock in the JCM800 cabs? I've read that it could be G12-65s, G12M70s or G12T75s. There's a guy selling one locally and he has no idea what's in it and I'm wondering if it's worth going over and taking the back off.

I found an early 80s Marshall 1982a cab locally that's loaded with G12-80s. It's beat to hell and I'm trying to find out what a fair price on it is. Anybody have any idea what they're worth? Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is these aren't all that valuable or collectible.

Anybody using them? I love the clips I'm hearing of them and I've loved the Celestion Blues I've heard, so I'm toying with the idea of getting some golds to go with my Herbert and Mesa Mark III. Not many people seem to be using these speakers with high gainers, so I was just wondering if anyone...

Much to my dismay, my Herbert only has 5 pin midi jacks on the back. I figure swapping it over to a 7 pin jack, at least on the midi in side for phantom power, should be an easy swap. The problem is, I can't find a 7 pin midi jack anywhere that I've looked. Anyone know where I can find one in a...

I'm finding the pair of Reaper HPs I have are slowly becoming my go to speaker with my Herbert. I'm thinking about buying another pair and I'm wondering if it's worth it to spend more on Weber 1230s or Scumback H55s instead. Anybody A/B them or try them all and care to offer any insight?

My Herbert only has 5 pin midi jacks on it. Is this normal? I've been looking for a new midi controller and many need a 7pin cable for phantom power, so I'm thinking this is going to be an issue. Serial # 001/081 if it matters. Thanks.
