Triaxis Failure, need help/advice!

[7 Dying Trees]

Maybe someone here can help and or point me in the right direction...

Now this is stupid. While piecing together the live rig on tuesday something stupid happened. I had all of it put in the case, with the trixis to go and knocked it slightly where it was resting, and bam. of a speaker cabinet into the floor. Not good.

So I wire it up and find that:

->There is a signal going through it
->But it's clean for everything, as in no distortion at all.

What I am going to try this evening:
->Replacing the new set of valves with the old set (which still work, just are a bit old) to see if a valve has gone
->Open it up and check all the connections, via advice from the mesa-dealer in scotland.

But, if anyone has heard of this happening before or may know of anything else I can quickly look at then please tell me, as I have very little time to get it fixed now, and hopefully can get it working by wednesday next week ...

help!!!!!! I need the rig to be working by Wednesday next week, about 5 days time and would prefer it if it sprang to life sooner rather than later

Damn that sucks. Is there any way to borrow a friends amp? I know that my last band helped out other guitarist when their rigs got fucked up. Hope that helps.

Wel, hopefully , it's being taken to a repair guy today, but I doubt he'll sort it out in time , hopefully it should be OK though... But I doubt it. So it looks like amp renting is the way forward...



Everything seems to be going wrong for these gigs ...

I know this isn't much help, but I've owned 2 Triaxis' at different times and had similar problems with both. It would die unexpectedly and then come back. When I sent it in for repairs it was gone for 3 weeks and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. I talked with a guy in another band that we played with who had similar problems with his as well.

You might try to pick up a Studio pre on Ebay if you want the Mesa tone they seem to be reliable or at least another cheap preamp as a backup. I ended up getting a Rocktron Piranha as backup and eventually got rid of the Triaxis.
