Hey guys. I've got a Marshall MG 15 DFX amp that appears to be faulty at the moment. The condition is unknown, because I got it free from a friend. The amp's power lead was from South Africa, so I had to convert it to a New Zealand plug (that's all the modification I've done so far).
When I plug my guitar in, I get no sound - just a humm. Sometimes I get a little bit of a sound when I switch to distortion, and crackling as well. I tested different guitars and leads just in case.
I checked the impedance (ohms) with my multimeter, and I couldn't get a reading using alligator clips (Just stayed at 0). The alligator clips work, because I could measure my pickups just fine. The thing is if I remove the alligator clips, and try to measure the speaker again - then I get a value, but it just keeps fluctuating all the time. It will go down slowly sometimes as well.
Anyone know what else I can do to test it now?
