I've been having a strange issue with my ROV 50.
After noodling around for about a half hour, while using both channels back and forth for a couple minutes, the sound just drops out unexpectedly, usually when it's in channel 2. I can hear the guitar just very, very faintly. Right next to silent.
When I switch to 1 and pick soft, it's still gone.
But, if I chop a note or a chord with a heavy attack, while in 1, it comes back to life for a few minutes, until it drops out again.
Could this be the speaker voice coil getting stuck or going bad? Or maybe time to replace the 12AX7s?
Any Ideas?
Update- I tried it with a completely different, newer speaker, and after a half hour of playing, it started to drop out again, exactly as above.
I can rule out the voice coil.
