been cleaning out my storage building and finally got to my original peavey 5150 2x12 combo. I've been wanting to get it out and play it for quite a while. I carried it upstairs to the mancave (definitely don't miss that part). Plugged everything up, powered on and it immediately blew a fuse . I had to run out so I found a pack of 3 amp 250v fuses. Back at the mancave, I replaced the fuse and had taken the tube access panel off to make sure everything was making good connection as when I received the amp years ago one of the power tubes had fell out of socket instantly blowing the fuse when I first tried the amp.
Well the fuse blows again but I noticed a lightning storm inside one of the power tubes. Back to the storage building to find a set of 6l6's I had. Changed the power tubes and the fuse (again). Turned on the amp and proceeded to search for a good tone. I only found an ok tone and thought I'd mildly crank the volume to remember that good old whack of a tube amp. Well I whacked twice and the damn fuse blew again wtf? Replaced the fuse again and it immediately blew.... again I now have a renewed appreciation of the III maybe I'll twiddle with the amp later when I have more time!?
