Check if the main fuse isn’t blown or if the power supply cord isn’t 
broken (use another). If it still doesn’t help, contact Laboga service 

personnel or any Laboga retailer.

There is smoke coming out of 

the amplifier.    

Immediately unplug the amplifier from the mains outlet  and 

contact authorized Laboga service personnel or any Laboga retailer. 
Don’t repair it yourself.

The amplifier doesn’t play, but 
LED diodes are lit.

Check if guitar cable is connected and if guitar cabinet works 
properly. Then, check if guitar’s volume potentiometer, Master or 

other potentiometers having influence on amplifier’s volume, aren’t 
mute.

If the above mentioned hints fail, unplug the amplifier from main 

outlet, wait at least 1 minute and check if anode fuse isn’t blown. If 
the fuse is blown, change it for a new one, turn the amplifier on 

again and observe the tubes  for any unusual signs. If, after you the 
change it, it blows again, contact authorized Laboga service or any 

Laboga retailer.

If the fuse wasn’t blown, put guitar cable to the Return socket at 
the back of the amplifier and check if you can hear the guitar:

If you do, check if any of preamp tubes aren’t broken by 
swapping them. If there is still no result, contact authorized 
Laboga service or any Laboga retailer.

If you can’t hear the guitar, contact authorized Laboga 
service or any Laboga retailer.

Clean channel works, but the 
distorted channel is mute.

Check if Lead Gain or Lead Volume isn’t mute. If not, unplug the 
amplifier from the mains electric supply, wait for the tubes to cool 

down, unscrew rear grate and change V2. If there are no results, 
contact authorized Laboga service or any Laboga retailer.

The amplifier makes hum 
even after turning 

Master 

down.

Check if the outer metal cover in any of the power tubes  is glowing 
red (it is usually grey). If yes, immediately turn the amplifier off 

and contact authorized Laboga service or any Laboga retailer.
