  1. I got some new fuses on ebay and they seem to work fine. I've been leaving it on standby when I turn it on and that seems to do the trick. Unfortunately now it's making fizzing or buzzing noise. I thought it might be my cable but it wasn't that. It does it slightly when I put it on standby and it does worse when I pick one of the low strings sharply. It seems to do it worse on E notes for some reason. Very strange. It doesn't affect it when I have distortion on it (drowned out I guess). It's pretty frustrating to play the clean channel at low volume. I've used this thing for several shows now and it's certainly loud enough. That's been the one good thing about it. I've left it in 15 watt mode and had plenty of volume. So what do you all think? Should I save up for some new speakers or what?
  2. Thanks for all the replies! So when you say standby switch to on that would be blocking the sound or not blocking the sound? Dumb question I know but I wanted to make sure I understood correctly. What would a solid state rectifier do to the sound? I would really like to keep this amp but I can't keep taking $100 trips to the amp tech.
  3. Hello all, I signed up to talk about my new BC30 and unfortunately the first post is going to be about problems. I got it used on craigslist and when I picked it up everything sounded good. When I took it home it wouldn't come on at all. Well, I took it too an amp tech (because yes, I'm a noob) and he said a tube was bad and the fuse was blown. A hundred dollars down the road everything seemed fine. I used it once to play at a church. Today, one week after getting fixed, I try to turn it on and again nothing is lighting up at all. The fuse and tubes look fine as far as I can tell. I know this amp had problems with blowing fuses. Did that ever get resolved? Anybody have similar problems? Thanks
