yba-3 keeps blowing fuses HELP For the past couple of weeks I've been playing my yba-3 through my custom made 4x10 1x15, the head has recently been restored with all nre power and pre amp tubes, before I was running my head through a sunn 2x15 and had only burnt a fuse once, over the course of a couple months, now that I've been using my 4x10 1x15 I blew 2 maybe 3, I've also recently added a boss odb-3 pedal to my rigg and my drummer thinks its pushing my head to hard and burning the fuse, I can generally play for a while for example both of the last times it blew I was turning off my OD, I was hoping someone could give me some advice. |
Sorry miss read |
What are the ohms rating of these 3 cabinets? |
The sunn is 8ohm and the 4x10,1x15 is 4ohm |
That could be the issue - the amp is solid at 8 ohms but not at 4. I have heard of this happening with some old Traynors. They can handle 4 ohms, but not for extended periods. |
That sucks, I was just considering changing my cabs together too in hopes of extra head room, maybe I should just find a second 8ohm cab |

No fixed variable bias either? + Those colonial chaps also appear to have made the tag strip out of a hardboard material that absorbs moisture and carbon tracks!. But then of course my ex misses was Canadian, so I kind of understand. :D:hiding: |
According to that thread, the speaker jacks are wired in series. If so, two 8 ohm cabs are showing the amp a 16 ohm load. |

This is correct. What the OP should look for is another 4 Ohm cab, to use with the existing one. |

So I should find a second 4 ohm cab then? Also what would it run at if I ran the 4ohm and the 8ohm? |
