I plug into the Matamp, fuck around for a few moments with the different inputs and some settings, find something glorious I'm really happy with and start jamming out. 5 minutes later it sounds like someone hit the standby or power switch and it fades to silence... check the back and not even the tubes are lighting up... nothin... no transformer hum, no tube lighting... nothing.... waited a bit tried it again, nothin... waited till Sunday and tried again... still nothin....
I'm all ready broke and selling shit to buy cymbals for the studio next month....
Fuck....

I hope it is a quick, easy, and cheap fix for ya. On a related note, I had a dream night before last that I traded you a bunch of gear for your Matamp. Also, stoked to hear the new stuff you'll be recording.

Thanks man! I checked the external main fuse and it wasn't blown, it (240v 2a) also didn't match the ratings hand written on the amp (240v 1a). So I'm hoping theres an internal fuse that I can check, as it really seems like its just not getting power in. I'm thinking maybe it could be the actual power switch as well, not sure.
What did you trade me?!?! hahaha
Thanks man!!! It's the first full length I've recorded in a long ass time so I'm excited. And as long as I can get the cymbals I need my kit will be top notch and ready to go, which is always a plus.
conky wrote:I've seen gut shots of that amp before but I can't remember if it had an internal fuse or not I remember it looking nice and clean though. I dunno what I traded. Probably my PRS and a bunch of pedals or something since I've been thinking about trading them towards some decent p.a. cabs. We need some for the practice space but we're also thinking about running our sampler and a trigger or mic on the kick for when we play places that don't mic the drums... which is about half of our shows.

PeteeBee wrote:Need some advice. I just traded a muff for an 8x8 bass cab here on craigslist. Cab has a blown speaker and looks terrible, but is real solid construction. I am considering putting in a new piece of wood and making it a 2x15, but it isn't as deep as most 2x15s I've seen. I know the speakers will fit, but I'm not sure if they new a nice big space to resonate properly. My dream is to use this for both guitar and bass depending on the project, but that might be unrealistic.
The other option is I'm considering just putting 8in pa speakers in it because I've read they are more full frequency.

I hope so too, in the next couple days I'll pull it out of the headshell and take a look and see if I can spot anything before I take it too a tech. If its something simple like a resistor or fuse I'm fairly sure I can discharge the caps and get the job done. I've got a bit of soldering experience....

new05002 wrote:well your problem is that the issue isnt the fuse, its whats causing the fuse to blow. Fuses are a fail safe rather than a problem.
Likely its bad power tubes if anything, first thing to look for.

Jäke wrote:Does anyone have any firsthand experience with a JCM 900? I'm aware of their lackluster reputation, but like any unflattering gear, the Internet can tend to snowball individual opinions into (false) consensus. The only time I've really heard one up close and in person was at a Floor show from way back then and then not long after during Torche's first tour. I thought they actually sounded pretty good in that context.
I'm asking because they're often for sale quite cheap. It should be noted that I'm interested in using it to be more of a pedal platform than anything else, so even if they have a buzzy or harsh distortion or whatever, I would not be taking it into that territory. Thanks, fellas.
