Please help! My stiletto is dead!

[lonestarplayer]

Hi everyone. My new Stiletto Deuce II was working just fine yesterday. This morning, I plug in to play and the volume is very low, and remains low even as I advance the output. I checked the guitar and cable, no probs there. This amp is just a few weeks old, and has never left the house or been played loud. Any ideas before I get on the phone with Mesa?

tubes?

Tubes

Most likely tubes... start swapping them out one at a time.

Problem solved! It was my screw up the whole time. This is my first amp with an effects loop, and I had no idea that the amp would not work if there was no power to the effects. I had my power supply to the effects unplugged. When I started playing with the amp and switched the effect loop off and it started working, thats when i figured it out. Learn something new everyday. Sorry to waste a thread for this!

Hehe - yep, gotta have power to pass signal in most effects units! Now you know... glad you got it sorted.

Yeah. If the effects was true bypassed, the signal would have travel straight pass the pedal...
