TE AH350X sound problems

Sign in to disble this ad
So, I posted here last night, when my amp/cab stopped making any noise. I realized eventually that it was the fuses.

So today, I went out, bought new fuses, replaced them, and turned it on. I seem to be having really bad luck with this amp. Everything seemed fine, but then all of a sudden (I wasn't even playing loudly), my amp became much quieter, and the sound got really distorted. First thing I checked and replaced was my bass's battery. Didn't solve the problem. So, this time I'm pretty sure that it's the head and not the cab, but I don't know why, or if there's anything I can do to fix it. Any advice? :\

There's a reason it's blowing fuses. Do you have it matched to a cab with the correct ohms? Mine has warnings all over it about the minimum 4 ohm load.

I got mine used and played it for a year or so and it had a similar issue, like a cold soldered joint or something. I sent it off to British Audio Service and they did a great job refurbing it. Worth every penny.

Are you saying by this that you have the same head? What does it say the fuse current is?

There'a a switch on the back for 230V or 115V. It's set to 115V. The fuse holder is underneath, on the left side it says 230V, T3.15A -on the right side 115V, T6.3A.

I wish I had some advice for you, I have a '95 AH350SMX that's been running without issue for years. I guess all I can say is if mine crapped out I'd definitely have it fixed.
