LABOGA – The Beast 30 Plus
While playing there are
weird sounds – crackle, or
the sounds vanish
completely
Check if the power cable is inserted properly and if it isn’t falling out
of the socket. Additionally, check the quality of the speaker’s cable –
if it isn’t damaged and if the cable has the proper diameter. Plug a
short instrument cable from Send to Return in the Effects Loop. Pop
the tubes using some stick or pencil to check whether it's a “tube
problem”.
The amplifier gives
uncontrollable weird, loud
sounds even if guitar is
unplugged.
Observe if it happens on both channels (this information can be
important while consulting the service department). Unplug the
guitar and switch to the distorted channel – watch if sounds
disappear when you turn down the
Drive Gain
:
•
If yes, unplug the amplifier from the main power supply, wait for
the tubes to cool down, replace the V1 with V2. If the problem
disappears, keep such tube configuration.
•
If not, turn the
Master Volume
down and check if sounds
disappear. If yes, unplug the amplifier from the mains electric
power, wait for the tubes to cool down and replace V2. It could
happen, that sounds won’t stop even if the
Master
is turned
down - then contact Laboga service and tell your observations.
Footswitch won’t change
channels
Unplug the cable from the
Footswitch
and try to change channels;
•
If channels can be changed, then plug in another footswitch
cable to the amplifier. It should be a “stereo” cable. You can
also plug in a “mono” cable, but the
Crunch
in the footswitch will
not be active and only clean-drive will work.
If that doesn’t help, contact authorized Laboga service or any
Laboga retailer.
