I had been getting this strange, horrible sound out of my Marshall JVM 410c while it was warming up on standby, and I thought maybe it was picking up a random signal from somewhere...(I live in a beehive of an apartment complex)...Anyway, today, I decided I would record the sounds on my iPad so I could get some professional help. After I turned the amp on, about 30seconds in, it started that noise again...after about another minute, I took the amp off standby...I had it on OD1 orange mode, when all of a sudden, I saw a flash of light from the back of the amp...and BAM! It scared the crap out of me! What happened! Did I blow a transformer or a fuse or something??? I was heartbroken! I know something is seriously wrong with my amp. It won't sound a note. It's completely silent....What happened? What did I do? Please help! I paid too many pennies for this amp to go out like this! BooHoo! Thanks, all! Any advice, opinions, suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I love this amp but it needs help!!!
Hi Vincent,
Thank you for your message, it sounds like you may have blown the output Valves, we would recommend you get this looked at by a qualified engineer.
