Hi,
I've got a Marshall head called "100 watt lead and bass" with a gold coloured front. Model number: 2195; voltage: 120/240; frequency 40/60~; watts: 190. I don't know if it's a valve amp or not but when I opened it up there were these two blue cylinder things about two inches tall and about an inch wide. I don't know if they are valves or not but it takes about 10 seconds to warm up before you can play through it. I acquired the amp in England and it had an english plug on it but I live in Germany where my studio is and I've changed the plug. The amp works if you plug a guitar direct into it (i.e. without going through any pedals and effects).
Nonetheless, I've got a problem with it. I've recently been and bought a DOD power supply to power my foot pedals. When I power the foot pedals with batteries, plug my guitar into the pedals and output to the amp, everything's fine. I get a sound and I get the effect. If I use my J-Station (guitar effects prcessor) I also get sound and the required effects. However, if I use the DOD power supply to power the pedals, I get no sound and of course, no effect although the LED's light up on the pedals.
So I took the power supply back to the shop together with my pedals and asked them to check it out. So he plugged everything in - the power supply, my leads, my pedals, a different amp and a different guitar and they all worked fine. I got sound and I got effect.
Just guitar and amp - fine
Guitar, battery-powered pedals, amp - fine
Guitar, effects processor, amp - fine
BUT
Guitar, pedals powered with new supply box, amp - not fine
although the power supply works, the pedals work, the amp works and the guitar works.
Can anyone give me any hints as to what the F is going on? I'm tearing my hair out.
Many thanks
