At a recent gig, while loading in my gear, my RM50 head took a short, sliding ride to the floor... slid about 6 inches off a Rack and Roller cart, and impacted the floor. Nothing serious, I thought.
Ever since, I've been having some issues. I run a Blackface module for clean and a Plexi for crunch. The Blackface module will NOT get clean, and the Plexi module now gets squealy REAL fast. I've pulled all the tubes, and checked them while the amp is on.. glow looks good, no burn spots.. so I don't think it's the tubes (power or pre).
Are the multi connectors in these amps secure? Should I pull the chassis and make sure everything is plugged in tight? How do I spot a cold solder joint? This is my only amp, and I've got too many gigs to leave it in a shop for 2-3 weeks!
Any insight/help/advice you can give is much appreciated!
