Bearfist Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) £250 Shipped Iv'e 'accidentally' gone and bought another amp so i need to move on something and with my M-pulse hanging around on here for a while this has to go. Not much to say about this other than it is one of the most pleasing sounding amps ive ever played and seriously loud. This is one of the ones with the temperamental blue internal LED's, they work one day and not the next, its a known fault with these and you can look over at the Streamliner threads on TB for more info and confirmation this is purely cosmetic. One thing i feel i need to mention is when i got this a few months back i fired it up and there was a very quiet electrical buzz, the buzz got louder when boosting the mid control so that led me to think it was an issue with the V3 tube so i opened it up and sure enough it was sitting slightly wonky in the socket (probably took a little knock in transit), anyway i re seated it and all was well. But once since then the buzz returned again and like before the mid control affected it, gentle tap on the amp and it stopped so i think the V3 tube may be on its last legs and need replacing? Nothing major but thought i should mention it and ive priced it down a little as a result (i would have asked the £450 i paid a few months back) This comes with the Genz Benz bag which is a little tatty but still does the job and shipping is included in the price.

karlfer Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Of no use to you whatsoever, but I love my Streamliner 900
JapanAxe Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 My amp occasionally has a buzz like that. I have had the lid off and poked around with a wooden coffee stirrer to try and replicate it, but to no avail. A bit of 'percussive maintenance' sorts it. I love my 900 too, although it doesn't get out much because my Demeter gets most of the love!
Bearfist Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 Cheers guys! Yeah I've done some poking around too but never replicated it. Someone mentioned something similar over at TB and the guy that designed the amp said its nearly always a Tube. Killer amp regardless.
Bearfist Posted June 13, 2016 Author Posted June 13, 2016 Probably going to take this down and get it serviced but open to low offers on this for the next couple of days while i decide what to do, see edit in first post.

Bearfist Posted July 9, 2016 Author Posted July 9, 2016 Due to general laziness ive still not taken this in for a service, will hopfully get some time next week, if anyone one wants it as is with a view to getting it serviced themselves il do it for £250 including uk shipping and gig bag. As said its fine 95% of the time but every now and then there's a very quiet buzz that kicks in, imagine its a simple and cheap fix but cant say for sure.
