Ok so I rarely bust this guy out, but I decided to give it another shot now that I got my Mesa OS.
Basically, my problem is this:
- FX Loop doesnt work properly. The last few times I've used it, I had to run from Preamp Out instead of my FX Send......Then, last band practice, none of that worked. Once before during a recording session, everything sounded fine. Turned everything off for the night, came back a day or 2 later, and somehow the FX Loop had been switched on/off which was causing a huge drop in volume.
- Remote switch jack is finnicky. Last practice I had to plug in a footswitch just to change the channel, removed the footswitch (stupid story, other guitarist needed it) and everything was fine. Take a 5 min break, come back and amp is reallllly quiet at the same volume it was at previously, didn't touch a single thing. Found out that I had to basically have a footswitch plugged in or a dummy cable plugged into the footswitch jack at all times. If I plug the switch in, I can change channels, but as soon as I remove the switch, the volume drops insanely.
Going to get my hands on some contact cleaner as well as retube in the near future.
TL;DR:
Super retarded problems happening with my Remote Switch and FX Loop. HALP!
