Hi guys,
I currently have an Ibanez TB50R combo amp that decided to start putting out a veeerry low volume. The knobs all seem to work, yet the speaker won't go above a whisper. I don't see any burnt components or popped caps, and unfortunately I can't find any schematics online.
So I guess...does anyone have experience with this type of response to where they'd know beyond a guess which component went? Thank you.
Have you tried other guitar cables, yours might be dud?
They often die without warning. :grr
If the Amp has effects send/return sockets or preamp out/power amp input setup then try a known to work guitar cable in that loop.
Next common point of failure is input socket, try jiggling the plug in and out. Might also need a spray of electro cleaner as well.
Phil.
