Peavey 5150 II Help!!

[LxTessaro]

Hey guys, I hope someone can help me out here.

I went to play my 5150 II this morning, and I got nothing outta it. All the connections are still proper, and the amp isn't in standby or anything. I checked the tubes, and they are all working properly and installed right. Any idea what could be going on?

I was playing it last night for about 2 hours and no problems at all. I shut it off and went to bed, and this AM it didn't work.

Thanks for the help.

Check the high voltage fuse (if it has one). Sometimes and arc in the standby switch can blow that fuse, and it won't function.

Yeah I changed the 5A fuse in the back, still nothing. I'm really at a loss here :34:

if you don't have anything in your effects loop, try putting a 1 ft cable there....might be the return jack thats the problem. Are all the preamp tubes/power amp tubes still lighting up?

The fuse might be internal. Let me go see if I can find a schematic...

Ahh now too look like a total n00b. Actually decided to look in the back when it was on... and the tubes are a negatory on lighting up Might have blown the tubes eh?

I just don't know how that could happen, given they were fine the night before.

The heaters in the tubes aren't lighting up? Definitely check fuses. Might just take it to a tech. could be something easy, or it could be worse, you never know.

So neither the preamp or the power tubes get any power at all? Check the fuses. Has any of the fuses blown before?

Takin the head to a tech today, then we'll find out for sure whether it's the fuse or the tubes... I have no desire to mess with the insides myself. lol

Thanks for the help though guys, much appreciated.
