Hello All, first post, wonderfull forum you all have here.
I have bought an alredy assembled tube depot 5e3 kit. It was a good price I could not resist. And figured it would be good to learn more about the 5e3 and the many mods.
In reading up on the kit it has a jumper on the board that when in place gives a feeback loop. I was of the understanding it can be removed to give more of the original 5e3 sound. I figured I would try it without the feedback loop and see if I wanted to put in a switch to have both as a option.
So I took it out, the amp gave a extreme distortion sound with my guitar and some poping and clicking for maybe 20-30 seconds. It then produced a normal rather sweet sound with maybe a slight reduced volume, but a ckick with the string attack. I shut it down and put the jumper back, figuring I was lucky I did not fry the amp.
Any ideas why this would act this way and not function well.
Maybe this is the wrong section I will post it in the kit section.
Cheers Ron.
