Hi guys,
I need your help regarding a strange problem with my Mini Rec.
A couple of weeks ago I was jamming around with my Mini Recto in the 10 watt setting at bedroom level...Suddenly I experienced a volume and gain drop and a loud hum occured.
Played around a little, the problem persisted...Had to crank the volume to reach bedroom level and the amp sounded ugly.
Then I flicked into standby and back to normal, everything the same...Then suddenly the volume was completely gone...
Okay I thought, must be some tube...Flicked to standby and prepared myself to swap some tubes...But before I did I switched to normal and the amp was working fine...No hum and perfect sound! Played some more minutes and everything was okay...
Some days ago I was jamming and the problem reoccured. I experienced a lout hum noise and a loss in volume. The amp sounded weak and thin. I was jamming in channel II in the 10 w setting...
It also occurred in channel I that also was set to 10w. Leaving the amp as it was, I just flicked to the 25w setting and the problems were gone...The amp still sounded a little weak, but the hum noise was gone and so was the volume drop.
I have already talked to a Mesa tech, they told me to contact a local distributor tech to have the amp look at. He doesn't think it is the tubes.
But before I send my amp away: Anyone experienced a similar problem? Any solutions?
The amp is only a couple of months old...
