Hello everyone,
I bought one of these Amps used online, the seller said it worked great, however after talking more to the seller they admitted they don't know much about amps and only powered it on but didn't test it with a cabinet.
Anyways, I got the amp it was packed really well looks brand new, even still has the film on the front H&K logo.
Plugged in a guitar and a 1x 12 V30 speaker cabinet and I can't get any sound out of the unit to save my life. It lights up and looks real pretty though.
I looked in the manual regarding the TSC and the tubes and LED's appear to be working properly. The tubes glow, and in full 40W mode on standby all LED's light up as they should, and in play mode all LED's turn off. In all the power soak settings 2/4 LED's light up as they should.
Any suggestions on how to trouble shoot this? I'm new to troubleshooting amps, but I am not new to electronics in general and have all kinds of electronic testing and repair equipment at my disposal.
I read there are 2 fuses in the unit, but would either of these allow the amp to turn on but not produce any output?
I'm thinking about opening it up and having a look around to see if some component because loose in shipping or something.
Any tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I notified the seller and they seem pretty flexible and are willing to work with me. I said I'd take a peak at it first to see if its something obvious, then if I can't figure it out, maybe I'll take it to a repair shop.
Edit: I opened up the bottom of the unit, fuses were not blown. I carefully visually inspected for any burned/loose/broken components and didn't see anything. I also made sure all plug connections were secure.
