Hi all,
Question for the amp/speaker gurus. Last night I was using my Friedman Smallbox 50 combo at practice. I wasn't too loud, only on about 4 on the BE channel, when suddenly all sound stopped coming from the amp. The amp itself is fairly new and hasn't been run at anything past 4 ever.
I initially thought I had a bad valve, as there was a tiny bit of sound coming from the amp, a rattly, distant, "tiny" sound - kind of like what you get playing through an attenuator, when you can hear the tubes singing. I turned the amp off, disconnected the speaker and plugged it into my backup amp. However to my surprise the issue persisted even with the new amp.
I tried moving the cable about a bit, which resulted in a stuttery type of sound, a bit louder - but no real improvement.
In all my years of playing I've never, ever blown a speaker - so no idea if that is what I've done. Anyone else familiar with this type of symptom? The speaker is the stock Celestion Creamback.
The only thing I did different last nigh was to face the amp to the wall, but I didn't think doing so at 4, volume-wise, would have this effect?
