Title: Randall RG1503-212 All 3 switches on at once.
Post by: DannyRG on September 19, 2014, 09:10:08 AM
Hello All,

Brand new to the site here and fairly new at guitar. Never have had to work on an Amp before so slightly nervous.
Anyway I have a 2012 Randall RG1503-212 that I bought new about a year and a half ago. Last night when I went to practice I turned on the amp and all three switch lights are on at the same time. No sound comes from the amp when trying to play like this. If I press the channel 1 switch on the foot switch and hold it down the amp plays what sounds like a combination of clean and channel 2. Sounds horrible. The same thing happens when pressing and holding the channel selector on the amp itself.
This is the only way I can get any sound to come out of it right now. Very frustrated!! I hoping I don't have to bring it to a shop. Any info is greatly appreciated!!

Start trying to get the schematic, otherwise it will be a wild guessing game.

Write Randall and tell them "a customer" brought one and sign "Dan's Music Servicing" or something like that.

In fact, the original idea came from Enzo, so sue him  :lmao:

Be aware that he will not hire a Lawyer but send Ms Wenzo "to have a few words with you"   :trouble

I'd avoid that  by all means  :lmao:

Oh noze!   :o

As it happens I was laughing like a drain because I just advised somebody last week to do the same thing to get a circuit for the Chinese CRO they bought that packed it in just out of guarantee.   :lmao:

Originaly I thought that Companies wanted to hide their Technical Secrets but later was told that by sending schematics or other repair information to unqualified people (which is 99.95% people out there) made them co-responsible for any damage because they would be "agreeing/encouraging you to mess with it".
