Did I blow my OT?

[Ricky Rockhardo]

I'd gladly pay a tech to take the "ZAP" for me.

I’ll tighten up the preamp tube socket (I’ve done that safely before), but I’m not sure I want to mess with the OT.

Thanks for all the advice!!

It is "Happy to pay a tech..."
Which is funny because techs are not going to get zapped.
As a matter of fact, I'm not going to get zapped because I am careful.
And instead of even attempting to help in a meaningful way, CharvelDan has to make fun of the situation and show a picture of an atomic bomb. He's like 64 years old, and this is his contribution

I burnt out the 8 ohm tap on a 2204 JMP in da 80's. Welcome to the club.

That's just because he's a dick.

You probably blew a power tube.

If thats the case he should have blown the HT fuse first.

So, I replaced the fuses and still no sound.

I do hear a buzz/hum around the power tubes when I take the amp off standby. For lack of a better term (and this hardcore ages me), it sounds like Space Invaders.

I pulled the chasis out and everything looks fine (no obvious sign of burnt components), so it might be tech time. I’ve been wanting to get an FX loop installed, so she was destined for the bench anyway.

Power tubes blew too . Or some . That’s what hspoeved to me once when I used a dudes cab . All mine are 16 plugged in to an 8ohm . Blew fuses and powertubes . It was fine after I replaced both

I’ve been putting off posting this because it turns out I got shit for brains and it’s embarrassing……

The impedance selector rotary switch can go past 16 and 4 ohms. Once I lined up the switch exactly at 16 ohms, the amp worked perfectly fine

Don’t sweat it dude. Most of us have done something similar in the past. Very glad it was that simple and no repair needed. Kudos for telling and not just running away

Yep, glad there was nothing to be fixed…. On the amp!

Good deal for you. Nothing hurt either, bonus.
