The last time I played it everything was good. Now I only have Mode 1 "Clean", 2 & 3 are dead. Channel two works fine. Anybody have any ideas. I have yet to open this amp up to see if it has been molested. Mini toggle seems it is tight and locks in each mode.
Would the clean and Ch. 2 sound fine if there was a bad 12AX7?
Thanks and Happy Turkey Day Eve!
 
No it looks like the relais switching the modes are not functioning. When you use the mini toggle switch do you hear any kind of clicking noise inside?

Jens
 
Thanks for the worlds quickest reply!
Each relay is getting energized when modes are changed.
 
I pulled the chassis, amp is pristine and mod free. Nothing "looks" wrong. This sucks, it lasted less than two weeks.
 
I will discuss this matter with Peter Diezel and get back to you.

Jens
 
Thanks Jens, I know this is not anybody's fault; I miss my amp :(
 
We are still working on it, please bear with us a little longer.

Jens
 
Could you please take the amp out of the chassis and email me 1-2 photos of the circuit board? I also need to see the printed version# of that board (like Einstein V1.5).
See my email in signature.

Just sittin here..............I know Diezel owe's me nothing, but some direction, any direction?
Ready to go all acoustic in to my Shure Vocal Master

I´m the last in line. Can I have some email conversation ?
 
Yes sir that would be a honor,
I know the baby takes precedence. My request was not directed to you, it was to anybody.
Jens has my email, address, phone #, hi res links to the board revs and components.
Thanks and hope Max and mom are well.
 
Thank You Sir.

Is the amp at Jens or at Your home ?

I had asked "Would the clean and Ch. 2 sound fine if there was a bad 12AX7?"
Jens had responded "no".

You where correct! Bad 12AX7, Texas and Mega are back!
Thanks man you made my day!
Why I did not just pull them and check with my tester?
Down for almost two weeks because of a freakin pre amp tube.
I am happy again.
