hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help me diagnose a problem I am having with my Vox AC-30tb. It is from the 90's or early 2000. The amp has blue alnico speaker's, no master volume.
Lately, I can't get any sound to come out of it. This happened pretty suddenly. I went away for a weekend and came back to this problem. I'll turn on the power button and let it warm up. In 5 mins, I'll flip the stand-by switch but won't get any sound. Both of the switches light up. Then when I go to turn off the Stand-By switch, the light stays on. Even when I shut off the Power switch, the stand-by light will remain on. Whatever i do, i can't stop this from happening, and I get nothing to the speakers. I suspect it's tubes, but before i spent the money I'd like to find some advice.
I don't know too much about the internals so I was wondering if anyone knew what could cause this? And how i can go about fixing the problem. Thanks in advance for your time.
best,
willie
