  • No power for Peavey 2x12 Valveking

    Help!!! I left my Peavey Valkeking Amp on all night. It will not turn on now. What do I do?

    That depends on your skill level.

    The easiest thing is to check & replace the fuse.

    Does anything light? i.e. the "on" lamp or the tubes?

    The next step involves opening the amp and checking voltages in the power supply.

              Checked the fuse. How do I know if it is bad. Can't tell by looking.

                The fuse is white. It is not clear so I can't tell if it is good or bad. But I can tell you it does absolutely nothing when I plug it in and turn on. No lights, no buzz, no hum, no nothing. Please help!!!!

                  Do you have an ohmmeter?If not go buy a new fuse and try it.

                    No, I don't have one of those. Where would I get a fuse like that?

                      The value is printed on the fuse itself or on the panel near where you removed it.Like 2a or 3a most likely slo-blow type.Radio Shack should have it.Replace it,if the amp works you are okay,if it blows again you will have to take the amp to someone who can figure out why it blew.Just leaving it on overnight shouldnt blow the fuse.I often leave amps powered up overnight to burn in new tubes before setting the bias.
