i got a russian big muff the today and was playing it and a few other effects through my sunn reissue model T when the bastard just shut off on me and wont turn back on, im assuming i blew the power transformer, which i've heard can end up costing almost 300 dollars to replace, and i might as well spring for new tubes since i got this used
i had been running the T at 4 ohms as a full stack, driving an ampeg 4x12 (8ohm) and a marshall 4x12 (16ohm) ,maybe i should've been running it at 8 ohms instead dammit dammit
so i guess i'm taking it to the store to get it fixed. anyone know where i can find information on the reissue T's power transformer? is there a way to get a better transformer and thus improve the T's performance? i am just assuming that the problem is the power transformer but the damn thing doesnt turn on and now i dont know what to do, you should've heard that amp roar with that cranked big muff going into it, then she shut down. and i just bought a footswitch too
(note to those who ask about footswitches: my reissue T has a quarter inch input jack for the footswitch, so any single button footswitch works)
when i take the amp to the shop, are there any mods that are worth consider to make the reissue T a more powerful beast? i would definitely like to make sure this is the last time i need service this amp for a long while
any advice would be much appreciated, i'd love to get this thing running and i'd like to know how to optimize its performance. thanks!!
