Rockerverb 50 Combo went "pop"
Posted: Mon Mar 23, 2009 7:45 am
Hello all,
Upon turning on standby mode, my Rockerverb 50 Combo I bought brand new last November emitted a popping sound, slightly "glassy". There was a faint smell of burnt plastic, and no sound whatsoever comes out now.
This is especially frustrating because this must be the 10th time I use it as I had been travelling between getting the amp and now, but the warranty on the tubes and speakers is technically over.
Was it the tubes ? If so, do you think Orange will replace them, considering it's not too long after the three months limit and I haven't even had the chance to play it much ? Or was it something more important/less replaceable ?
TIA
