Hope you guys might get a laugh, maybe throw me some suggestions. Anything--the funnier and insulting the better (those who remember my sense of humor over all these years will really lay it on, lol.)
Been very broke for oh I don't know, the last ten years like many others? My purchases have been few and far between. Needed back surgery a few weeks ago and I don't have any little practice amps so I got me a Blackstar Fly 3 package off eBay. Green, with the extra cabinet and power supply from seller with 100% and over 1200 feedback. Came in two days ago. Cracked it open like a kid on Christmas morning. My daughter was kind enough to get my Agile Hawker because I'm not allowed to lift anything over ten pounds. The Les Pauls would have to sit, even though they're around nine pounds. Hooked everything up, hit the power button and...POP. Loud pop, no power light...wha???? Unplugged it and my girls rummaged through all their toys and their brother's to scrounge up six AA batteries. All toys worked fine so the batteries were good. Nothing. Suddenly the light bulb turns on (in my head, not on the amp). I looked at the amp--it says 6.5v DC 1.5 amps. I look at the power supply. It does NOT say Blackstar and it is 9v AC 1000ma (or one amp).
I emailed the seller who graciously refunded my payment. Turns out "the kid" (son? employee?) lost the power supply and didn't realize they were different.
Let it rip.
