Vintage Modern 2266C weirdness
Posted: 14 Dec 2022, 08:47
Because of the snow, I had to carry my 2266C down the track to our rehearsal place this week. We set up and jammed but all of a sudden I experienced a big loss of volume, and the guitar sound was nastily distorted. I assumed a valve had gone and used a spare amp and my Blues Driver for the rest of the time. When I got home I changed out all the valved in sequence, but nothing made a difference. I wobbled the speaker lead around.... nothing. I also noticed that reducing the amp's Treble setting to zero, increased the volume significantly. Then I randomly pushed the Bypass Loop button and suddenly all was well! Now I've never used those buttons as I tend not to use effects, maybe it was accidentally pressed when I carried the amp to and from the studio......
You're probably thinking "idiot!" and who am I to disagree? :-) But when the problem arose, the amp was working fine, nobody was within 10 feet of it, and the problem suddenly started. Which seemed a bit weird to me. :-/
Any thoughts - with which I can increase my wisdom? :-)
