Acoustic b100 combo power shut down

[mike montalbano]

i was playin' through my acoustic b100 combo and power went out. Is there a replaceable fuse inside unit as there is not one on the back ,nor a groundlift like the mkii model?

A fuse on the inside of the unit is on the inside for good reason. When it pops it is probably saving the amp from a catastrophic failure. In other words, a fuse purposefully built where it is NOT user-accessible is a stop-gap. A component has failed and such a fuse has prevented a fire, electrocution hazard, or completely un-fixable failure.

As is, assumimg such a fuse exists in your amp, proper troubleshooting by a qualified tech may turn up a repairable failure. Take it in, pay the $70 or so bench fee. It may be a super quick and easy fix for the right tech.

My $0.02

Hey bass cooker, thanks for the tip. I went ahead and opened up amp to reveal the blown fuse. Obviously, there's some sort of capacitor that needs to be replaced.Player for Blue42.
