One day I turned on the amp and the fuse blew, so I took the fuse to radioshack and they pointed to the replacements for it, so I took the fast acting fuses back and tried them and of course they blew. I know nothing of electronics really so I got a slow blow fuse of the same voltage and amps...
Ok, well that makes me feel a little better. I've replaced the output tubes and still get no sound, would switching back to the fast acting fuse possibly fix this? If not I'm going to check the preamp tubes to see if those are not working either.
I'm pretty sure it was one of the output tubes being messed up. Because when I traded with the slow blow fuse, the amp turned on and the 3 of 4 output tubes lit up. But I get absolutely no sound from the amp at all. So I'm afraid that when I put the slowblow fuse in I messed something up in my...
Only the four 6l6 output tubes for sure are working. Im too scared to turn on my amp again until I get the right fuse because if I haven't messed anything up yet I'd like to keep it that way.
I have a tube amp(Peavey Valveking) and not knowing any better I replaced the fuse (5amp250v fast acting) with a slow blow fuse. Now my amp turned on but I cannot get any sound of any sort out of it. Does anybody know what I might have messed up?
