  • Just received used Powerstage 170…is it dead?

    I bought a Powerstage 170 on Reverb from a big seller. When it arrived I unboxed it and it appeared in good used condition. It came with the power plug, so I took it over to my amp and plugged in the power and my 8ohm cab and Kemper. When I looked at the unit I thought (for a sec) that I saw the “O.C.” light lit, but then I looked again and no lights. I powered it on and from then on nothing is happening. Dead as a doorbell. Is there some way to reset the unit?

    Does it have voltage on the adapter/plug? That is the easy check. I am not sure what is inside of these things.

    Edit: Not a big Users Guide either. I think the only tip there is to ensure the Volume is down before powering on.

      Yep. I’ve verified the cable is good and tried another with no change. I am not about to open this up to check what I can fix, so back she goes….

        I'd contact the seller and send it back.

          No, the Safety Guide says there is nothing inside to service. I agree with Mincer, send it back DOA.
