Ok I just bought a Mark V combo

[TubeStack]

Gotta say the widebody 1x12 is real nice pairing with a V... mine has the c90 but I think the current production version has a V30

Is that the open-back one? The stores here seem to have a 23” open-back one with the C90 or close back with a V30.

It's a closed back with C90, this configuration is discontinued, it was originally made to be paired with Mark Vs. I think after the VII came out they dropped this config and released the same cab but with a V30 and called it a rectifier cab lol

This is what dreams are made of

Agggghh…

It worked for about 10 seconds, then started making an increasingly loud hum, and then blew a fuse.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Thats some BS

Get L&M to send you a new set of power tubes?

Yeah, they guarantee the tubes on used amps for three months, at least.

 

[dbagchee]

Were the tubes packed separately? That thing looks clean so hopefully they can send you replacement tubes and a fuse.

They were in the amp.

I actually have a full set of new tubes and even an old rectifier tube from a Stiletto head, plus the fuse in my Electra Dyne I could try.

Question is, do I start messing around with all that or just bring it to the local L&M.

Ugh such a drag!

 

[spawnofthesith]

My impatient ass would put in new tubes and a fuse if I had them on hand and just replenish the stash when they sent the replacements lol

 

[dbagchee]

Sorry dude it is a drag. Crossing fingers that it is just a minor setback so you can enjoy the Mark V glory in your living room soon.
