ColinB Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I switched on my BG250 this morning to be greeted by......... nothing. Not a beep, burp, cheep or chirp. Just silence and no LEDs. It's only had bedroom use and one rehearsal since the middle of Feb. I've tried the usual on/off/on, different power leads etc.... but only a stony silence. I've got a gig Saturday and this amp replaced my MAG300 which I haven't mended yet. eek! Sounds like the coffee's finished brewing - time to see how good GAK's customer service is. Quote

discreet Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Probably a stupid question, but did you try plugging it into a different power socket? Quote

However; I've put the 'cleanest' set of pre-amp and 6L6 valves I've got into my modded DIY Tweed Deluxe and it's got some serious heft through my extenson cab. I'll D.I. a smidge through the P.A. and I should be able to busk it. We're not a loud band. Quote

[/quote] Not stupid at all - it was the third thing I did after an on/off/on/off/on session, and a replacement kettle lead. There's not an externally accessible fuse either. Quote

ColinB Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 My BG250-208 arrived back yesterday from REAL Electronics repair shop and is working perfectly. I hope it stays like that! Excellent sevice from GAK. Quote
JTUK Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Take a spare... until you have your confidence restored. Quote
BassBod Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Real shame - I would buy a TC, but I've read too many breakdown stories about them. Amps need to be reliable. Quote
