Musky Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Might be something as simple as a dirty input jack socket. Try squirting some switch cleaner in there and inserting a jack a few times. Or just open the amp up (unpowered!) and give it a decent cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manufacturers often put maps inside amps to affect the tone. A map of the Shetlands will give you a peak in the high-mids which will sound really sweet. You did put the map back in, right? S.P.

GreeneKing Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 And I hope you used a genuine 'Duck Dunn' pipe cleaner or those low mids will be suffering Glad its sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-soar Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 There may have been an issue with a jumper lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
