Check your tubes. Sounds like you had something give out on you. I'm not a tech but it's usually kind of visible if a tube went out.

worth letting you all know. I've had it for a few weeks now and it's the best amp i've ever played. Tuesday, I took it by Elite Music in Montgomery, AL where we side by side compared it to a two rock custom reverb signature using the two rock cab. The store owner was more than impressed with the ceriatone and actually we dialed my amp in rather quickly. It has been a good ride so far. I bought a used old laney cab with some HH vintage 60s in it (that apparently no one has ever heard of) thinking i'd replace them. Come to find out, they're rather lively and do very well in a closed back cab. I quickly abandoned my thoughts on the changeover to 100w. I'm very very pleased as you all promised.

Well guys. I had my doubts about it, but you can only read about ceriatone for so long before you just go ahead and take the plunge. Paid for the 50w HRM about 30 minutes ago. I am sure after your replies that i will be more than satisfied. Now on the hunt for the kleinulator. Thanks for the tips.

could be a ridiculous question. Just wondering.
