Working on my bandmates DSL50 that was cutting out intermittently and crackling with the tone shift button out. Found solutions for both of these problems on this forum. Added a ground wire from the 16ohm to 4/8ohm jacks which solved the noise problem. Cut link 27 (near V3) and replaced it with a .022uf 600V orange drop cap and the crackling disappeared. Played through it for a few minutes with no problems. My bandmate was playing through it for about 15 minutes (with his pedal board connected to the effects loop) and then there was a load pop noise and static coming through the speakers. He tried switching cables and tubes with no luck. When he pushed the tone shift button, the amp started making all kind of noise.
I will be getting the amp back in a couple of days and was wondering if any of the mods I did could have caused this. Also could this be related to the effects loop itself? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan
