Hey guys,
I am new to this board, mostly because i got my first mesa recently. I absolutly love my roadster, not here to bash but i got some serious problems. I have had my roadster for a little over a month, i had one specially delivered from the factory, i am the only one who has ever played it. Everything has been golden untill the other night. I had played the night before for about five hours, and when i turned it off the night before it was fine. The next night when i fired it up i had absoulutly nothing.
Being an owner of other tube amps, i started trouble shooting. Here's what i've done:
Using my spare set of tubes, i tried to tube swap thinking that it was a bad power tube. worked my way thru all the power tubes with no joy.
Next I checked to see if it had something to do with the settings of my channels, but after flipping switches and turning knobs to every possible confinguration, i still have nothing.
A few things i have noticed:
I have the standard pop when switching to the 3rd channel. I also get a pop occasionaly when i switch the effects loop bypass on the back.
I normally run in spongy mode, with tube recto on all channels & 50 watt, but i have tried switching to diode, bold and 100 watt with no effect.
Power tubes 2 & 3 filliments glow brighter than those of positions 1 & 4. All tubes glow the standard blue when fliped off standby.
recto tubes are as bright as positions 1 & 4.
Any help would be very much appreciated. I have been without a good tube amp for about 5 days now and i think i am starting to get withdraws!!
