    PLEASE HELP!!! HEAD BLEW ON TOUR!!! AMPEG SVT II 1989 TUBE HEAD

    I don't know what a power transformer looks like, but this looks like a regular little tube fuse with 10 A 250 V written on it then underneath where it goes is written "10 AMP fast" in pen ink so i think it's a regular fuse, it's just all white. it almost looks like i would expect a blown one to...

    PLEASE HELP!!! HEAD BLEW ON TOUR!!! AMPEG SVT II 1989 TUBE HEAD

    thanks for all the help everyone. i had to open up the bottom of the whole head just to get to a fuse. is a 10 amp 250 v fuse but it's powder-coated white so i can't see if it's blown. it is for sure just an svt II and not a pro. i have 6 6550 tubes and 2 little 12au7a tubes and 4 little 12ax7a...

    thanks again. can anyone give me an idea on how much money and how involved it would be if it was the power transformer?

    thanks so much for the advice guys. does anyone know where the fuse might be? i looked for one but couldnt see it. it's still in my rack mount case so i just gave it a quick look over, but if you know where i should look specifically it would help

    PLEASE HELP!!! HEAD BLEW ON TOUR!!! AMPEG SVT II 1989 TUBE HEAD

    Hey, my head shut off in the middle of our set tonight and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong. I've been running and ampeg 810 and a hartke 410 with it at two ohms. it's done fine for tons of shows now and I was told that two ohms should handle that since they are both 4 ohm cabinets. another...
