Diesel Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hi,I recently acquired a TSL100 Head and coupled it with a 1960 angled cab. It sounds great, but the last day or so, it has been cutting out on the Lead & Crunch channels, leaving me with just the Clean.I'm assuming its a valve problem, but having owned only one other valve amp (a Laney 100W Klipp), I'm not too experienced with these beasties.Anyone help?DZL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeid Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 does it do it when the footswitch isn't plugged in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalepeano death Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 so is IT switching to the clean? or do the other channels just make no noise if YOU switch to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 does it do it when the footswitch isn't plugged in?It's happening with the footswitch IN. I haven't tried it without (or with the spare footswitch).so is IT switching to the clean? or do the other channels just make no noise if YOU switch to them.It IS switching to Clean once it cuts out and using the footswitch or panel buttons has no effect.Thanks guys.DZL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalepeano death Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 souds like there is a intermittent short in the footswitch. try unplugging it and see if the problem stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that the footswitches aren't very reliable anyway.Thanks.DZL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 My Marshall fottswitch busted a while ago to. They sent me a brand new one within a couple of days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairyScaryMark Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 What exactly do you mean by 'cutting out'. Is there no sound as soon as you switch it to the overdrive channels? Or does it cut out after producting some sound?Does this happen if you switch it manually with the buttons on the amp head?I doubt it is a valve problem if it works perfectly on clean.
