Okay Folks,
It looks like I may have a Power tube failure on my new Ps-100.
Purchased in November from Vintage King and delivered on December 17th (back ordered).
Current setup: Mesa DC-5 8ohm jack- PS-100 @ 8ohm- 2x12 cab 8ohm. Also have XLR out to computer interface for silent recording.
Situation: today after about 15 minutes of playing I started to notice the volume dropping rapidly. I stood up to see the left power tube glowing bright red. Right after I made it to my feet the volume cut, there was a slight squeal, then silent. Bypass mode still works for the amp-cab as well as amp-computer but I have no volume through either channel. I then open the fryette up and find that the external fuse is intact but the internal f401 tube is blown. I cant find any evidence of burning on the board.
It seems that others are having similar issues. I leave town tomorrow morning to work for a week so there isn’t anymore troubleshooting I can do for the moment. Does this sound like faulty tubes or something more?
Sorry to hear this, but yes it does indeed sound like tube fault. If you email Fryette following these instructions they should send you out a new set free of charge also ask for replacement fuses
Hey Dan,
I sent a parts request email on the morning of 12/24. Afterward I received two replies. One stating the email had been received, and another stating it was an invalid address and that I didn’t have privileges to post in that category (as if my email was being sent to the forum?). I just want to be sure my parts request was received.
