Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Does the power light come on? All valves glowing?

Power light on. Didn't check valves.

I'm going to start smashing things in a minute! :lol: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

EDIT: I just tried my Smokey through the cab and it works. Oh dear.

Was the box and packaging ok?
Have you checked the fuses?

Call me and we'l sort it out. Mobile is best.
Don't panic!

Check the valves, make sure they're all in the sockets properly and that they're glowing. Something may have been dislodged in shipping. Then get back to us.

Edit: Martin beat me to it. Give him a call ;)

Appreciate it anyway Dave! :)

Martin- no fuses in the house, but just rang the local guitar shop and they've got some. So I'll just sprint into town to get a couple.

Can't believe this is happening! :lol: :lol:

Fuse gone? Arse!

Good luck, and let us know how you get on...

Daft question maybe, but are you definitely using a speaker lead, not an instrument lead, between the amp and cab?

Well very pretty am lovin that....hope it works soon

Come on, the tension is killing me (at work, and far more concerned about your amp...)

How's it looking?

Well the fuses I got from Machinehead turned out to be the wrong size (doh!) so I'm having to endure one of the most painful waits of my life! Should have one by tonight, which will (hopefully) fix the problem.

I had 5 minutes of tone-heaven and now it's sat there begging to be played. :oops: :lol:

Good luck!
Can't say I like your colour choices that much, but it isn't revolting. I guess Orange heads are usually a bit smaller etc.
Can you not drop into your local electrical store, any fuse works doesn't it?

Note to self: include spare fuse pack in future amps.

Hang in there Sambo! 8)

About to message you...

Update:
Seems one of the output valves has died from Sambo's decription of it having a milky deposit on the inside of the glass. Soon as he's back off hol, I'm taking a trip down there to fit a new pair and bias them. Unusual, but it happens.
Service with a smile! :)

Sorry to hear the bad news Sambo, but the amp looks amazing. I'd love to see a pic of the guts if you or Martin has one.
If/when I'm back in the UK full-time I think I'll be getting a Martamp of some kind, I think a Ceriatone Overtone Special in that orange basket weave cab would be tasty 8)
