Amplifier Discussion / Fender Steel King distorting
February 06, 2010, 05:03:08 PM
Hello All,

My Steel King has suddenly developed this symptom when playing through it:  buzzy distortion, lower volume.  I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I had the wrong power adapter hooked up to my volume pedal when I turned the amp on.

When I opened it up, I noticed that one of the resistors looked burned (although it measured fine).  It is R119 in the first sheet of the schematic http://www.fender.com/support/amp_schematics/pdfs/Steel_King.pdf (R119 is located at A4) 

I replaced the resistor with the same value, but the distortion was still there.

Could someone suggest likely culprits?  The speaker, cables, guitar are not the problem.  Any help greatly appreciated.
