HELLO BOYS, I'M RICCARDO FROM ITALY AND I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME ....LAST YEAR I'VE BOUGHT HEAD VH4 ( + DIEZEL COLUMBUS MIDI PEDAL )FROM ON LINE SHOP MUSIK PRODUKTIV.
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
I'VE PLAYED FOR 1-2 HOURS AND ALL SEEMED OK, BUT WITHOUT WARNING I'VE HEARD AGAIN ONE STRANGE STRONG NOISE... I'VE CHECKED AGAIN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND NOW ARE SWITCHED ON THE RED LED NUMBER 1 AND NUMBER 2.... NOW I'LL REPLACE AGAIN THESE TWO FUSES... BUT, AT YOUR OPINION, WHAT CAN BE HAPPENING??? MUST I WORRY ME??? I'VE WAITED 3 YEARS OF HARD WORK TO CAN BUY THIS HEAD... AND WHEN I'VE TAKEN IT IT'S BEEN ONE YEAR OF FEAR EVERYTIME THAT I'VE USED IT.... IT'S AMAZING REALLY...IT HAS THE GREATEST SOUND THAT I'VE EVER HEARD REALLY.... BUT FOR ME IT'S BEEN A BIG PAIN TILL NOW AND I WOULDN'T LIKE TO CHANGE IT WITH ANOTHER ONE TO TAKE HERE IN ITALY WHERE I CAN HAVE AN EASY ASSISTANCE THAT I CAN'T HAVE BUYING IN GERMANY A PRODUCT SO PARTICULAR THAT NOT EVERYONE CAN HAVE.....
SORRY FOR MY NOT PERFECT ENGLISH... I HOPE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME...
THANKS IN ADVANCE
RICCARDO
 
If the tube fuse light goes on, you have faulty power tubes. Replace them (fuse AND tubes) and let a good tech bias them.

No idea about the switching issue - is it the same, when you switch it manually? (without Columbus?)

And you can write without caps lock here, easier to read.

it's happened changing channel manually or with my midi-footpedal ( diezel columbus)....
 
...and sorry..for you i have to change all the tubes or only the tubes with the red led on ???
 
It is better to change them all - to be on a safe side. Or leave that to an experienced tech to decide.
 
Ricardo,

if You would like to be safe on the repair send
the amp to me.
 
thank you Mr Peter. Do you usually receive from Italy amps to check ?? i ask you this information to know which courier i could have to use... and how much i could spend...
Even if i could spend again money, this should be the best solution to resolve definitively my worries for my vh4 that i've bought only one year ago.
 
As we are in the EU there is no custom paperwork. Please search
for a cheap and reliable forwarder in Your area.
 
Ok. can i have the correct adress that i'd have to use if i'll decide to send you my vh4 ?? thks
