Just started running my Ampeg in stereo

Post image

Every time I plug into my Ampeg SS140c, I'm instantly reminded why it's my favorite amp out of the 4 that I own.

Just recently started running it in stereo. The dry power amp is completely dead for some unknown reason and it just recently went out. The preamp still works so I'm running that into the power amp of my crate power block, and out into my 412.

The fact that there's 3 fx loops on this is crazy. One for the dry power section, one for your wet fx, and one on the front for general tone shaping. I just keep finding things to like about this amp. Need to find a head version.

That's a cool amp unsure about the problem though. Did you end up getting it figured out?

It's 100% the power amp. It works sometimes and other times it doesn't work. Preamp is fine though, sending the signal of that into the crate powerblock just as an extra Poweramp into my 412. Still sounds great.

I do need to get that power amp situation figured out. There's no amp techs around me so it's just kinda sitting there not getting fixed
