MURDERATOR
6505+ combo. Had it running into my Marshall mode 4 cab. Anyway the nut holding the jack came loose, the connectors were jiggly as fuck as well. I’m playing… lose volume and get his. Finally pulled the amp and started troubleshooting. Cleaned jacks. Turned on and everything lights up including power tubes. Take it off standby and get hiss. Plug cable into send and return and the hiss gets a little louder. Turn off and remove power tubes. Turn on and take off standby and…the sound of silence 🤫 fuck. Ot is done right ?

Another one? You need to revise them jacks and stuff in all your amps one day
 
Just got a message from my pv amp guru and he doesn’t think it’s the ot. Thinks it’s something else in the front end. I will defer to him and tube swap pre’s to see if that helps…. I dunno… pencil test first….

You have like three of four threads in the last 3 months about fucked up amps.

I know. Trust me…I know… pv ultra plus… thought I fried my rec but got lucky and it’s good. Now this thanks to a wonky cabinet input. I have been playing since the mid 80’s and honestly I think I replaced a pair of tubes once. That’s it. Don’t recall ever having one go tits up. So I guess I’m overdue….
