UPDATE: I took it in the other weekend and had it looked at. Apparently, there is a lead inside the amp that was making intermittent contact, something about the signal not reaching the power stage properly. It's going to cost me $65 in addition to the $65 it costs to bench it. So overall, not too e...

I swapped the tubes over to the new EH power tubes, and the amp worked for a day. Turned it on last night and the same thing happened, no sound tapping on the tube produces some noise. Time to take it in for service, I have no clue what is going on inside there. :/ On another note, the V3m sounds pr...

In a strange twist of events, I swapped the power tubes around in the sockets and BOOM! Amp works fine now. How strange is that? I wonder why that happened..? They still sound kind of weird, displaying some general noise and occasional soft hissing noises every once in awhile so I'll try the new tub...

I'm actually going to do that right now! Perhaps its a broken pin or worse, the socket has become unsoldered from the PCB itself. That would really bite..

I seem to have figured out the issue. I narrowed it down to a particular power valve. Weird issue. I've never had a power valve die, so I suppose it's new territory for me. I tap on the valve and the sound slowly comes back, fades out once again and at the very end, seems to crackle a little bit. I ...

To the above FX question: To activate the FX loop, there must be both the send and return jacks connected. if you just plug something into the return for example, it obviously won't work so what you can do is 'jump' the connection, plugging in the guitar to the return jack and connecting a dummy lea...

^ HAH! If I had dropped it from 6 feet, i would take it in for sure if it wasn't working without hesitation!

I just can't imagine that something is faulty with it honestly. it seems a pretty bulletproof amp, but then again, stranger things have happened i suppose..

PLEASE read the entire thread, it contains information that may be helpful for troubleshooting. SETUP: Hoyer Eagle Prestige > Dark Terror > PPC112 > V30 12" So I've had my DT for a long time now and recently bought another amp. in my hurry to play it, I was swapping speakers in my orange cab. Long ...

Ok, great! Thanks everyone I appreciate the info!
Pretty sweet that we have the ability to do that. I guess most amps do this, but I still think it's neat that you can run two speakers together to kind of see what tones you can get out of a few different kinds of speakers/cabs.

Put both 16 ohm cabs into the 8 ohm outputs. As i understand it the 8 ohm outputs are linked together internally in parallel so its either A) run a 16ohm cab out of the 16ohm output. B) run an 8 ohm cab out of the 8 ohm output or C) run two 16 ohm cabs out of both 8 ohm outputs... Someone correct m...

My cousin has another brand of amp (in addition to a Dark Terror) and also owns a Boogie cabinet 1x12 and a PPC112, both 16 ohms. He wants to run both cabs from the Barfshall amp into both cabs since he sees two 8 ohm outputs on the head. I wanted to get some clarification on how exactly to hook the...

At present, I have the ability from a friend to borrow some of his speakers. Of these, they include GT12-75 Celestions: Already have a feeling I'll hate them.. Alnico Blue Some weird no-name that comes in an old speaker cab from the late 60's Greenback 25w Black Shadow So, over the next few weeks, I...

Jax, you make an excellent point. Good to know I'm not the only one that thought this. I'm making a move to a Thunder 30 soonish, so the V30 has to stick around. Who knows if that combo will sound good? And I'd never get to try it if I did sell the V30 now. I know that would inevitably come back to ...

I thought that is what you were implying! :p I do want a 2x12, just can't afford it at the moment. Too many other things going on in my life. Soon, however.. So I can't tell if it's simply the amp, the speaker or the speaker+cab+amp that's giving me a hard time. I also don't want to blow money on a ...

^Would have been a good suggestion if I had a 2x12. Is there a speaker out there that can give me just less fizzy high end and more tight grunt on the low end?
