Rougue


I went to fire up my rogue magnum int amp and I heard a small pop, then the only tube that reacted was the V3 tube but it had a purple glow to it and none of the driver or preamp tubes showed any sign of life. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone had this experience in the past??????

Yes, Rogue is truly excellent to work with. Give them a call - even if it's NOT under warranty I'm sure they'd be able to help out for very reasonable rates. In think you may get lucky here and only need a change of tube(s) and fuse(s) - in which case you won't even need to send the amp off.

I've had a KT90 short out in a BAD way before, and if a tube is going down hard enough to burn out an adjacent resistor and/or scorch the PCB, then you will KNOW about it - i.e. sparky fireworks and smoke (lasted about 5 seconds followed by another 5 seconds of smoke).

On the other hand I've also had an EL34 tube (again, bad tube) go molten-red plate, and all that was required was a quick (!) shut down followed by a chance of tube & fuse.

Good luck!
