Colisuem Slave Fuses
« on: July 02, 2009, 02:15:00 pm »
My Slave's fuses are roasted.  I can't tell if they say 25A or 2.5A.  Anybody know for sure what they're supposed to be?

The documentation I have says 10 amp slow blow. They usually don't blow unless the amp has a serious problem like shorted output transistors. Unless you know what you're doing, you'll do more harm to the amp. Take it your local repair shop.

Uh oh.  Here's the situation:

I got one from a shop here in brooklyn for $200.  It was working fine for about 3 weeks of 3 rehearsals per week, getting signal from a coliseum lead whose volume was at 8.  Input Sensitivity on the Slave was always all the way up.  I took it on a 3-stop weekend tour and at the third show, the VU meter wouldn't light up.  Power switch glowed red, though.

When I got back, I opened it up; the fuses were burnt.  I replaced them with the same (25A 32V Fast) that were inside and fired it up again, hooked up to a 4ohm cab and no line in.  After about 1 second of a loud humming noise, it burnt the fuses.  Same thing happened with the front switch on Audio rather than 117, and with the sensitivity off.

Is this worth fixing?
