 Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2008 4:47 pm Post subject: mode 4 repair help!!!!!! |
 |
|
| Ive got the marshall MF350 and i went to plug in and play and at the time i didn't realize that for some reason the solo level was way up, so as soon as i turned it on i got a lot of feedback and then pop!! everything shut off and i could smell something burnt. I pulled the chassis out to look to see what happened and the only thing that i could see was the blown fuse, so i replaced the fuse and as soon as i plug the power cord into the head i see a little white flickr and a very small amount of smoke and another blown fuse. What is the problem? i know very little about repairing amps so any help at all is greatly appreciated. |

| Sorry, but when they blow, they don't mess around. You are looking at 4 output modules minimum. They are around $50/ea. My advice is to move on. |

i appreciate the reply, but it doesn't make sense. What do you mean by they don't mess around, and move on? |

| What I mean is you are going to spend a minimum of $200 on an amp that is worth used a maximum of $400. Just think about how much you like the amp before you sink the $$ into it. And remember, this will probably happen again sometime if you do fix it. I am really sorry to say these amps are money pits. |

okay i get what your saying, im just going to pay to get it fixed. Ive been playing with the mode 4 half stack for almost 5 years now and ive never had a problem with it until now, and this problem should have been avoided. |

| Just make sure the fans are clean, running at full RMP, and have enough space behind them for proper airflow. Sorry to be a downer. |
