Amp Help
So I recently bought a brand new Peavey Classic amp. its a 212 50 watt amp. I was playing with some buddys of mine really loud and it just dies on me. as in it was power going to the amp, but it wouldn't turn on. I put the power switch and the standby switch on and nothing. So I was wondering if you guys had any advice. I think it maybe because i blew a fuse but I'm not sure. Maybe it's a broken tube. Idk.
Thanks for your help

aw that sucks man. that happened to my friend on his Crate V50 tube amp. all of sudden it just wouldnt work anymore. the tubes were fine and everything but he took it back to guitar center and exchanged it for a new one.

maybe you should just get a new one?

Okay. That sounds like a good idea. I've only had it for a couple days so i should be fine.  . But it makes me wonder what's wrong. hmm....

some amps are just put together poorly..sometimes the wiring is bad on one of them...ask someone who works at the store when you take it back

If the shop don't take it back, simply replace the fuse, you may have another divice that has a fuse which you can try out before you buy, they are quite cheap and alwasy good to have a spare.
The only time this happened to me is when I blew the speakers, but silly me got a pal to play bass through it.
I've had the AMP for 30 years, it's an HH 212 combo, built like a brick S**t house lol
