| 1231519 | 2011-09-16 00:37:00 | Although I dislike Marshals a lot - I gotta speculate about what you are saying here: 1) There's NO transformer hum and you think it should hum? 2) It used to hum and now doesn't 3) Are you speaking of a transformer to convert it DOWN to US voltages through a step-down unit and IT isn't humming? Perhaps it used to hum before it knew all the words . Marshals are really hard on their fuses and that's the one big reason why people get rid of them: ALWAYS smoking the fuse when the solo comes up . When I go to the largest retailer here in the US (Guitar Center) all the Marshals have the fuses stolen outta them . Must be a reason - huh? |

| 1231521 | 2011-09-16 00:54:00 | No - Marshal makes it extra clear that you GOTTA use THEIR fuses or it voids the warranty. They aren't 'Slo-Blo' but they have a surge protection in them - so wire is a No-No. | SurferJoe46 (51) | ||
| 1231522 | 2011-09-16 01:22:00 | Transformers used to hum and now not a sound. Fuses are fine. No obvious burnt out or loose wiring on the boards inside. No one in NZ that he knows of that fixes them. Doesn't matter any more, I just bought him a Splawn Amp Head with all the bells and whistles he wants. He's paying me back. (If he doesn't, he'll get no food and I'll rent his room out!) ;) LL |

| 1231524 | 2011-09-16 01:39:00 | "Splawn"? Never heard that name - must be made by unwed sheep somewhere. JK! Anyway - the fact that a transformer is no longer humming indicates a loss of primary (wall) voltage somewhere. The transformer is used to step down/up and tap various voltages from the wall plug values for the individual components inside the amp head itself. Power cord? Ground lift? Standby? Polarity? (Do youse guys even use a polarity switch?) I dunnow about youse guys amplifier gear, as there are prolly a lot of differences in NZ v US models. Transformers, on the other hand - should HUM! Gently. Last thought - did this unit 'thermal-out' from pushing it too hard last night? The thermal may NOT reset if it's damaged. It's designed to shut the system down when it gets too hot. |
