Diezel VH4s channel 2 overheating?

[memphis7747]

Hi guys!

I'm from Slovakia and I own a VH4s (2006 version I believe), but i have a little problem. Channel two is not functioning properly. After more than an hour of playing it "dies", it's like the power tubes don't kick in. I first experienced this problem a year ago, but then it went away. Now it's back and showing up more regurarly. All the other channels work fine.

Because there is no DIezel retailer here I had a local amp guy take a look on it and he isn't sure but believes this is a problem of overheating and talked about changing a few parts and putting in a metal shield between the power tubes and something which I believe he called electrolyte to prevent this.

I'm really happy with my sound and a bit worried that changing parts might change the sound too much.

Anyone had a same problem? Is there something to watch out for when changing parts?

Thx in advance! \m/

I guess the amp is a lot more complicated than he's used to, anyway I think you have a full lifetime warranty.. the best would be to take it over to Peter to Germany for a full check,it's quite a drive but definitely worth it considering the price of this small beast

Hi! I'd rather have it fixed here cause I'm on a tight time schedule right now, but thx anyway bro

ps: No, it's not Milos, it's Mr. Slucik in Zilina.

Welcome to the forum

I´m located in Bad Steben close to Hof. That´s far but
not really far away from you.

Why not take a car and I will check the amp ?

Best,
Peter

Ok Peter, looks like the best solution. But I have a few shows to play and I hope I won't be pushed into the other solution and could drive to Germany in May.

Looking forward to it
