Hi everyone,
A few days ago I had an issue with my MT15 as the volume dropped significantly (by 80-90%) on both channels.
I've bought it new 11 months ago and almost the entire time it sat at my bandmate's house where we have rehearsals. I have a few pedals in the fx loop, have the amp connected into a 212 v30 cab, no issues.
A few days ago I moved it for the first time - I have a gig next Saturday as a stand in for a local band, so we met to go through the songs. I reconnected everything at their drummer's house (I did notice the amp picking up some interference right off the bat) and we played for about 1-1.5 hours. Then suddenly, the volume dropped. I unplugged everything and just ran my guitar directly into the amp - no pedals or anything. Volume was still missing. All the controls worked, only it was very quiet.
I took my amp home and two days later went to my bandmate's house. Tried playing it through his cab and everything worked perfectly. Today I played it at home through my cab again, and again it works without an issue.
I didn't manage to run it for more than half an hour, will try that later.
I am wondering what this could be? I was hoping it was one of the tubes, but the fact it plays normally again has me baffled. I am not too handy when it comes to electronis, so I cannot test everything and even though it should still be under warranty, with the gig comming up, I don't really have time to take it to the dealer.
Could this have been a one off in any way? The electricity in the guy's house where my amp had an issue seemed really dodgy. I don't think he has any grounding in his power outlets and the entire room was "electrified" with a bunch of extension cords.
What can I even do in this situation? Wait until the problem repeats and/or gets worse and take it to service? This was on half power setting, but afterwards it worked normally on both half and full power.
