Marshall Dsl 40c Issue, Need Your Help!

christianwilliams

My DSL 40C cuts out every now and then. The sound just goes dead. If Imcycle the power switch it comes back on like nothing happened and is fine. Here is what I've tried so far:

Replaced all tubes.
Checked all connections.
Clean sockets and inspected them.
Replaced the power and standby switch.
Cleaned all jacks.
When it goes silent, I Have wiggled all tubes, beat on the cab, tapped on all, the transformers.

It only does it once in a while and also once in a while from a cold start meaning I Turn it on, let it warm up, take it off standby and no sound...cycle the power switch and fine.

I'm starting to think these amps are cheap. It's very interesting and irritating at the same time.

Cycling the standby switch does nothing.

Any ideas?

Damm even I am having a similar kind of issue, I have searched all over the internet and even have posted on number of threads on different forum, no solution seems to work. I am really frustrated, can anyone of you here help me resolve this issue, I am very much tired now.

I watched a YouTube video of a guy fixing a grounding issue with that amp. There appears to a general feeling that they're not terribly reliable. You might have more luck posting on guitar amp forums (you've probably already done that).
