Hi – and thanks in advance from a grateful newbie!
My home made AC15/Matchless clone has a problem – no sound coming out when I plug in a guitar.
The power amp seems to be OK because I can get sounds from my reverb unit via the effects loop. I can make these sounds quieter or louder using the volume knob but all the other pots (gain, bass, treble, mid) seem to have no effect. So am I right to think that the problem is somewhere after the tone stack, but before the volume pot? Trouble is, there doesn't seem to be much there!
BTW just to be sure I’ve tried swapping round guitars, leads and valves (2x12AX7, 2xEL84, 1xGZ34) and it makes no difference. There is only one input jack.
Hopefully this has helped narrow down the source of the fault - but it would be brilliant if someone could give me some more clues about exactly where to look for the root cause, and what to test for.
Thanks!!!!
