So I Droped My Boogie Recto

[msrecprod]

I droped my Mesa Boogie Rectofier when I was retubing it. I fell off the speaker cab and onto the ground. Only one power tube shattered and the input jack got a little bent, but now the amp wont turn on. The fuse wasn't blown, and I'm not sure what else to look for.

Open it up and check over the wiring, see if anything has gotten loose or disconnected. If you feel that you're uncomfortable doing this then take it to an amp tech. They can look over it for free and if it's something simple they might even fix it for you for free.

All the wiring looks to be in good shape. Is it possible that when the power tube shattered, it blew something?

Was it powered up when it took the dive?

There may be other fuses in the chassis somewhere. But, a fuse can't be trusted by visual inspection. I would test the fuses or replace them. Be careful of high voltages.

I am not sure if the 5 second rule applies if you drop a boogie. j/k

Yeah, the amp was on when it fell. I was trying to do to much at once, and lost my grip on the amp. At the time, it was the amp or my 58RI Les Paul.... I hate making those "oh sh*t" choices.

Are you aware of the electrical shock dangers involves while holding a guitar and swapping tubes with the amp on?
