Title: drive channel doesnt work Post by: casken on August 26, 2012, 11:30:56 PM I have a factory built ots about five years old. Today i sat to play a bit stepped on the footswitcj for some dirt....red light on...amp went silent. Switched it off and clean channel sounds gret! I am no tech and will have to hire one. However it would be nice to have an idea as to what would cause this. I double checked all amp settings and it oughta sing. Thank u in advance.

Title: Re: drive channel doesnt work Post by: casken on August 27, 2012, 08:04:10 AM I appreciate the insights. I was hoping it may be an inexpensive tube issue they are quite old and that certainly would be a possibility. I didn't know if that would be a sudden and total stop if a tube was responsible. I will also check the footswitch. Thank you again.
