Monolith Magma Beta 1.0

@father of fires
hi,
the voltage at the holes on the pcb is 15+ respectively 15-. Your calculus refers to a series circuits of voltage sources, but this is not the case here.

i tested the Magma yesterday with my band. the hum is gone and the amp sounds great now! Check your Magmas, i am sure there a similarities on my case!

cheers

what power amp are you using? I'd love to hear some clips of a fully functional Magma.

 

[Lowdude]

i use an orange 100 MKll Divo.
friday i can record some clips in our rehearsal room, hope that early enough for you

@ Lazarus.Bird
i watched your vid. sounds like the blowing of a fuse. Are you sure, that your amp is totally damaged?

 

[Lazarus.Bird]

That is from almost a year ago. Yes, the preamp leaked DC voltage into the input of my PA and fried it. It was still under warranty and Peavey replaced like half the components in it cause they were gone. Great customer service on their side.

If the fuse had blown, the front LEDs wouldn't light up, no?

I'm thinking someone should do a verification on Lowdude's work, and then offer a rebuild for all the dead Magmas out there.

hi,
here some records i made ad the weekend. the soundquality of the vid is not very well, so i added a record of our drummer and me made together later in the morning. we used a digital interface, so the qualitiy is much better, please ignore WHAT we are playing, the beer was so smooth ad that evening/night/morning...

p.s.: i play gibson sg an use a 8X10 ampeg bassbox and a 4X12 marshall box

that sounds great. Didn't realize you're using it for guitar. Hopefully others can use your findings and get their money's worth out of their Magmas.

+1. Whatever monkey they hired to do the wiring was being paid way too many bananas for that quality work. That's somewhat frightening.

+2 that is crap.

@Jason
i payed 25 euro for the power supply, i think for 30$ you will get a good one too! But it's important, that you buy a suppressed one (stabilized in german).
