where as a burned out resistor, bad tube, or dead capacitor is common. The point I am trying to make is that you probably have some routine part failure. although the original Vox line did have a reputation for running hot and overheating, the reputation is largely attributed to lack of ventilation. and leaving a amp on for a few days is not typically something that will hurt it. With the amp is standby the amp shouldn't be as hot as when it is not in standby mode. "Standby" implies that the heaters in the tubes were being heated but that the plates and grids did not have high voltage on them. It's going to be hard for any of us to comment without having some idea of the symptoms you are experiencing. You haven't actually described the problem.
He can play his Blues Deville through the holiday but if we can get the VOX going for the shows it would help immensely. Did I hear that right or do I have that backwards? I've never played with the internals on his VOX and I have a Fender Twin, so I wanted to get some advice from any geniuses here who may have some troubleshooting procedure we can go through to solve where the issue lies and any temp fixes we can do during the holidays. But if the fuse blew with new tubes then it would be a tube problem. He also mentioned if I put in new tubes and the fuse didn't blow then it would confirm the transformer. So, my question for you guys is:Ĭan the tubes be overheated? Is it possible this is an easy fix or unlikely? I talked to one guy in LA who can service it when I get back and he said replacing the tubes isn't going to matter at this point. We could have blown the transformer, but I thought I would try to replace the tubes first. We're not near any dealers at the moment to drag it in, so trying to see who here can help us diagnose the problem.
We're trying to repair his VOX AC 30 which was left on for a couple of days on Standby by mistake. Overheated Vox AC30 CC2 late 90s/early 2000s edition - repair help
