    Power Amp Repair Question

    #notanelectrician I decided to see if I could figure out how to repair my Carvin BX1500 head. Channel #1 is giving my a lot of static and cuttin in and out, and channel #2 has no output at all. I noticed some white powder spilling out from under one of the heat sinks. I decided to pop them...

    Line 6 - M13 ok for bass?

    I just pop mine in a small back pack for gigs. The other big advantage of an M13 is that Line 6 periodically provides free firmware updates. They haven't had one in a while, but the last one added 20+ new effects, and it was free!

    Hartke 2200 2x12 Cab Replacement Fuse

    Hi! The top 12" speaker in my Hartke 2200 2x12 cab started crakling during sound check a couple weeks ago (this cab has kicked ass for over 10 years!). I popped the speaker out today to find that there is a fuse with a broken filament (it's on what I believe to be a crossover circuit board...

    Fuse on Hartke 2200 Pro 2x12?

    I see this thread is a couple years old, but I'm in the same situation. My Hartke 2200 (2x12) cab died during sound check, and I see that there is a fuse with a broken filament. Do you know the part # of the replacement fuse?
