16  Muchless / Stray Cat 30 / Finished build, need to start troubleshooting... on: July 05, 2013, 01:55:34 AM
Hey everybody. I recently purchased a Stray Cat 30 kit from ceriatone.net (American distributor, right?) and spent about 40 hours over the past week building it. This was my first amp build so it was a long process and maybe not the best build ever done... Anyway, finally finished the wiring about an hour ago, stuck in some tubes, plugged in to a cab and started to check to see if everything would work. First, the indicator light comes on. Heart starts pounding. 'That's a good sign!'. However, as I'm moving to plug in a guitar and then flip the standby switch, the rectifier tube starts to glow, a crackling sound starts coming out of the speakers, and about 10 seconds later the main fuse blows. I was wondering if anybody here could give any thoughts on where to start looking for trouble, based on that sequence of events...

   Thanks!
