Hey folks

I have a Laney GC-30V that has played well and given me no problems in the ten years I've had it. During band practice last week it gave up and now only makes a tiny sound when played up full blast, hence making it redundant.

Does anyone have experience of tube amps breaking down? Anyone have any ideas how I can repair it?

Cheers  peace

You should take it to a professional. Maybe the tubes have blown or maybe it's faulty wiring, only a professional (or a really smart forumer) will know.

Solidius is right.

Check to see if your tubes are lighting up.? If not, then take it to someone to check the wiring.

10 years?? This is a tube amp right?? It sounds like your tubes are 8 years too old and they just blew.
If either of the transformers blew it wouldn't be making any sound...

If you need to change the tubes, make sure you get it re-biased.
