Help With Broken Marshall Head?[views:6544][posts:12]_____________________________________ [Nov 6,2007 2:52pm - Aura_At_Dusk ""] I have a Marshal Valvestate 2000 Head. During our last show it Blew. I know the Fuse keeps going I have replaced tyhat but everytime I turn it on it goes again. I can see where the smoke is coming from its not the tube its ina spot where i can really get too...any help. We have a show this saturday with Enslaved so im hoping to resolve it by then. I went to guitar center but didn't really get any help...If any one know what this could be please let me know, thanks. |

| ________________________________________ [Nov 6,2007 3:25pm - metal_church101 ""] Marshall Valvestate 2000 Heads are very unreliable (as you have seen.) The price to fix it may be more than what the head is worth. |

Dammit, I knew someone would beat me to saying "throw it out." BUT, I'd have to disagree on the Mesa comment. Although there are many people who have no problems with their Mesas, there are a probably an equal amount of people who have problems with them, especially with blowing fuses. Not really much to fix, but a fucking hassle nonetheless. |

It has held up quite well for some of things it has been through. I know I cant expect it too last a whole lot longer but, just dont have much money right no to do much more than repair it. Just trying to figure out its a transformer problem or some other circut problem. |
| _____________________________ [Nov 6,2007 4:22pm - Blue ""] well, at least now you have motivation to not buy a total piece of shit guitar head. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 6,2007 4:28pm - sinistas ""] How much were you looking to spend to repair it? |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 6,2007 7:27pm - corpus_colostomy ""] MESA! |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 6,2007 9:11pm - UBER AMP NERD ""] i'm not going to offer advice for you in your current predicament, but i will cleverly tell you to buy a really expensive amp, even though you've already said you don't have the money right now. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 6,2007 9:32pm - corpus_colostomy ""] sit on a trainwreck ya fuck! |

I will just scream louder. |
