cameltoe Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Never had any issues with my OBT in about 5 years of gigging, but last night it suddenly lost all output halfway through a gig. Luckily, I was DI'ing through a preamp pedal so my FOH signal was fine. I removed my pedals from the chain and plugged straight into the amp- nothing. Swapped outputs on the amp and cab- nothing. The power light was still on and fan still going and both preamp valves, at a quick glance, appeared to be glowing nicely. Play the rest of the set through the foldback. At the end of the gig, I try the amp again, and it works fine! This is more annoying than it just breaking. Any ideas what could be up? Worth mentioning I have just replaced the preamp valves back to a set of Philips ECC81's that I had previously had fitted in the amp for about 2 years but removed a couple months ago.

Raslee Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 When I owned one of the first generation OTB's I had a similar issue and it was a capacitor come loose on the preamp. I sent it to Orange who replaced the board to the newer model; they did it for free even though my amp was out of warranty - thumbs up to Orange on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueslemac Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 There are a couple of threads about this. I had no end of niggling problems with my first couple of amps, but the one I've ended up with now has been fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
