Got an ad30r just the other week, have used it several times. The first time I turned it on there was a faint whiff of 'somthing burning' but it went straight away and didnt come back for the next few times i used it, so i forgot about it. then just yesterday after an band practice i went to turn the amp back on, nothing happened, no light, no noise nowt. I checked the mains and HT fuse, both seem fine, but i guess there's still a small chance it could be them, anyone got any idea's, i need my tone back!

If you bought it new, bring it back to the dealer and have them fix it under warranty... that's a little weird.

Had you been letting it warm up on standby for a couple of minutes first?

Yes, I would imagine that letting things warm up to operating temperatures would prevent many problems. But courious to know if this a common things about the AD series, or Orange amps for that matter. Has anyone else had these problems?
