Today i was trying to turn my eisntein combo and it made some static noise and then it died. Then i notice that tha power cable was bad plugged in. So i was wondering if it damaged de amp???

Help me out guys.

Thank you.
 
It's almost certainly the power fuse. Likely nothing to worry about. I've blown a power fuse within a couple of hours of every Diezel i've owned. Replaced it & they've always been fine ever since.

Check the little tray below the kettle lead input. You may even have been provided with a spare. If not, go to your local electronic store.

If it's anything like my VH4, I think it needs to be the correct slow-blow fuse.

Good luck!
 
ok. Thanks. The fuse is the one it says in the back 0,5A SB? After i replace the fuse does it need to be rebias??
Tks a lot guys.
 
No need to rebias, just. Alewife to get therightfuse

That's the one. 5amp Slow Blow. If it's in a clear case, you should be able to see that it's burnt out.

No need to rebias. Just change the fuse.

Buy a few if I were you. Also take a look at the tube fault fuses & buy a few spares of those aswell.

The main fuse is 4 amps slow blow for 120 volt and in inside the main jack.
 
In the back of the combo einstein says 0,5A SB. It's 4 amps Peter? tks
 
The thing is guys that i'm from a place that is very hard to find a amp tech so the fuse i need to replace, is it need to open the amp? Is easy to do it by myself? It's the first time that i have any issue with a tube amp so...forgive me for my ignorance.
Anyways i'm on track to find a store to do this, but they usually only deal with products that they sell. My amp was bought in from Germany.
I'm from Portugal.
Thank you so much.
 
The fuse is 2 amps slow blow for Europe
and inside the main jack. There is a small
case to open.
 
Ok i feel a bit stupid right now. Ignorance is total. My amp it's back on track and making That Tone. The Einstein comes with a spare fuse and it's the most simple thing to do. I just replace the completely blown one with the spare and that's it. In the future i will not bother you with this simple, simple things. I just didn't know where was the blown fuse.
Tks a lot you guys.
Peter you are a God.
