Bugera G5 head stopped outputting sound

I don't own a G5. I found those pics on the interweb. I appreciate the offer, but keep them and use them on a project.

My only warning is that while the resistors were undersized in the amp, that may have been on purpose. They may have wanted the resistors to act like a fuse as opposed to having a more expensive part blow up instead. It looks like they used 1-watt resistors, maybe half watts? I would have gone with a 2-watt or 3-watt metal oxide as opposed to the carbon film they used.

We never quite got that far in discussion though. In this case, If it fixes your issue, you know that you could replace the 5-watt resistors with a slightly lower wattage rating. You just never really know what the engineer's intentions were.
 
Well when the resistor failed it took the transistor with it. Replaced that still dont work . Giving up
 
Tech has it
i think i will just move on
paid the Tech a $60 bench fee to look at it

he called said it was something else

I like that litle thing
I have been eyeing thw H&K Tubemiester 20
 
Gave up got the amp back from the tech

$60 into the repair and still chasing it
The amp Was $200 when i got it

Tech wanted to "donate more time to it"
But i was done

I have ordered a H&K Tonemiester 20 to replace it
I like the power soak
Keeps the neighbors from calling the cops

I have several nice combos
The Carvin Belair
The Laney GC80A
Roland Cube 30
VIP2

When the Bugera first horked up
i got a Blackstar BEAM 20 watt stereo amp
i was gonne use it for my travel rig
But like my tube amps
It comes alive with the volume above 1/2 way
And really doesnt sound good until then
Can't really take that on the road
I have been asked to find a different hotel while in Georgia.

Dang it

The Positive Grid Spark Go cured this
Fits in the gigbag better too

Well my new amp should arrive tomorrow
It ain't got reverb but i got pedals
And the lighted front looks so cool
 
I am saddened
I had grown quite attached to that cheap little thing

but it is as the Fates intended

I can still use the emulated out if i need to as the preamp isnt damaged
just keep it on standby and a dummy load in the speaker path

the new H&K will will run sans speaker when set to mute on the power soak , I think
oh my thats Amazon saying its here now
