Faulty Marshall

Recommended Posts

I have a Marshall MG50 DFX that has given up, I know it's a guitar combo but I think I'll get more response in here than Guitarchat...

Anyway, it powers on and the fan is running but there's no sound. I've changed guitars and leads in case, but it was cutting out periodically in the run up to total silence. I've twiddled all the knobs and nothing. Any ideas, and is it likely to be something an enthusiastic DIYer can fix?

First thing I'd check is the headphone socket.

It's function is to break the link to the speaker and divert the sound to the headphones. A weak, broken or corrosion on the connectors and no sound.

try contact cleaner first - easy solution if it works. After that, if you're confident ... open her up and with short piece of insulated wire, bypass  the headphone switch and see if that gives you sound at the speaker.

Normal caution, electricity can kill, don't go inside if you don't know what you're doing ...
