So I'm a drummer but I have an amp related question...
My band's guitarist has been having a terrible time lately trying to get his equipment to function. First, he was using a 200w Randall RG200 Head and a 4x12 Randall cabinet - which was awesome - but the Randall was experiencing some volume loss and a bad signal so we put it aside and decided to look for a new used amp. I assumed he would try to get a tube amp, but he ended up buying a Marshall MG100DFX in so-so condition instead. After he got it, he plugged the Marshall head into the Randall cab and it immediately fried itself (with a small smoke puff). Now there is no power whatsoever.
I really know very little about this kind of stuff, but my FIRST impression was that he got screwed on ebay buying a bad amp. Now, I'm thinking it was the Randall cabinet that fried the Marshall head?
Does anyone have any ideas what happened?
