Blew my fuse

Post by Bollix »

Just plugged in my Marshall 1992 30 year 1x12 combo and blew the house up!
Funny. I was running the amp low, just testing levels.
The phone rang and ... BANG ...
Problem living in and '30s Bungalow. The wiring is s h i t e !
Off to Jaycar tomorrow ...

I once flicked a light on and blew half the house up.
Traced it to a dicky light fitting.
Shocking wiring in it :problem: so ya know it’s bad when I can do a better job.
Had it sorted in a couple hours. :lol:

how do you know it wasn't the phone that caused it :winky:
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
