The title sums it up.
My house was hit by lightning today, thankfully it didn't start a fire. Strange problems with several of our electronic gadgets as one would expect.
I went to play my guitar tonight and had very minimal sound. Checked all of my tubes. Looked ok... still no change in loudness no matter how much I cranked the master and solo knobs. All channels the same. I decided to turn up the master on each individual channel and voila I had sound. Each channel still works, the sounds are not my normally massive sounds but it gets louder. Any ideas on what may have happened? Is it something to do with the power amp (vs the pre amp). I know just a little so I don't really want to mess with it but then again if it's something simple I don't want to have to take it in for service.
BTW I removed all extra stuff from my rig while diagnosing. No effects pedals, no fx loop, plugging directly into the amp with a guitar and the head is plugged directly into the cab. I even changed the cable connecting the cab to the head just in case that may have been bad.
Any ideas?
