Should I just be checking for continuity? I really have no idea what I’m doing. I know enough not to get electrocuted but that’s about it. I did locate a tech but damn…. I really don’t have much in it, nor do I want to put any more in it. It’s not worth it. Sounds great when working…it’s an ultra +, but you know…
yeah ..... continuity ........
 
I will keep messing with it…. If nothing else it is a good learning experience.
watch a vid or two about checking your caps ..... an ESR meter would work best for the electro's but you can still check to see if they are " dead " with a decent multimeter ( as long as your meter can read cap values )
 
Well according to my semi local guy that I just spent an hour on the phone with….the switching matrix is fucked. Probably from me going in with a soldering iron. Ohhh well. Gonna keep fucking with it… and this guy’s legit….. great conversation….really enjoyed speaking with him.

I was swapping power tubes with that EVH combo and now i have no filiment voltage / no sound.
2 fuses i can see are good. I may have burnt a filiment resistor.
I have an appoinment with Mr. Obeid Khan @ 1p.
Amp problems suck.

When I get a chance I’ll open it up again. The guy I spoke to today was awesome and really enjoyed speaking to him. He’s not a mesa fan and told me a couple fascinating Marshall stories…and some other things as well. Just a very interesting dude who has been working on amps and guitars forever. He jokingly referred to his home as the house that peavey built…lol
