A friend of mine has brought me his amp for repair. Its a Sunn all-valve amp rated at 120 Watts, with three 6L6 tubes in the power section. Anyway, whats happening is that on both channels, there is almost no sound and its distorted, both channels sound the same, very quiet and distorted. Any idea what could have gone wrong?

It sounds like an oscillation of some sort. Trace a signal through it with a scope and you should be able to see where the problem is.

Three? That's an odd number. For 120 Watts, you want 4 to 6 of them.Originally posted by flyingtele View Post
Does this amp have an FX loop or pre-out/pwr-in?
Hope this helps!Comment
