Title: Volume cuts in and out when warm
Post by: Tom Walzem on December 24, 2011, 04:27:53 PM
When the amp gets warm the volume cuts in and out. Even the light dims and flashes. Recently I played it for a while and now the tone controls don't work. I bought a DC30 a few year ago, and like an idiot I didn't address the problem right away. I have other amps, so it wasn't too urgent.

It looks like there may have been others with a similar problem, was there a problem with the circuit at some point?

thanks in advance

Tom

I think we shipped 400-500 DZ30s thus far, over the years..

i think less than 10 got problems like yours.

Most of them solved with change of tubes.

Tubes are like strings, they do wear out....
