Hi guys. Any help is appreciated!
I have a Fender stage 112se that began giving me intermittent problems. When I opened it up I found a burned resistor next to the induction coil. I checked the solder joints of the coil and they were cracked. I resoldered and replaced the resistor and resoldered the coil as well. It worked fine for about 2 days and then the same problem. I went back in and checked the solder joints and they looked good, but I reheated them and re did them anyway. Then it worked fine again. I left it on with a signal running in to it and after 20 minutes there was a pop and now there is a low hum and no signal can get through and the pots don't do anything to it.
I turned it on after rechecking things and in less than a minute the transformer started smelling funny(not funny ha ha, funny uh oh) I am guessing something else is shorting, but I can find nothing. All the solder joints seem fine. The grounds seem to be in place. I don't know what to look for.
Thanks again for any help.
