Hi there,
I have a problem with my JCM2000 DSL's fx loop.
Basically the problem is that the amp works for about 10 seconds then there is volume drop. This is when there are cables plugged into the Fx loop. When I take the cables out the amp works fine.
I just got this amp serviced/repaired for this very issue in Feb and fired it up tonight as I have some gigs coming up soon. Lasted 30 seconds and same problem is back. Although this time there was no horrible fizz and bang when switching the standby switch off.
At the time the tech said he replaced the jacks and fixed some soldering issues.
The gig is in 2 weeks and I am an amp down.. I have a backup that I can use but I am paranoid that one will go down also haha.
Is it possible to replace the fx loop circuit on my amp? Sorry for such a simple/dumb question but I have no idea. I don't want to get rid of the amp and buy something else but I just can't keep having this problem. Even when the amp works (before having some sort of issue) I can't play with confidence as I am just waiting for something to give way.
Please let me know if I can replace the FX loop circuit to fix any issues. The amp is a 1998 model but has been rebuilt with a 2006 PCB and regularly serviced. I always power the amp off my furman power conditioner.
Cheers
