Hello all,
I am the proud new owner of a boogie .50 cal +. Just got it yesterday and have a question.
It looks practically brand new, so it was well cared for by the previous owner. He also sent a copy of the service record. The last inspection/overhaul was performed 12/2006.
The amp sounds great and everything seems to work as it should and has plenty of volume :shock:
Now to the question, today while I was playing at a fairly low master volume of 2, gain at 10 and lead at 2/3 with EQ on set V shape..
Just out of the blue the volume started to fade away, I looked behind the amp and the power tubes where completely red and slight amount of smoke started coming out from inside the case.... I switched it to standby to let the tubes cool for about 5 minutes are so...
I then switched back on to see if it would play, and it was back to normal. I played for another 30min to hour and it never repeated this event...
Can someone explain to me what happened and does it need to be looked at?
Thanks,
Richard
