I just got a MESA Big Block v12 Titan from another owner, New tubes, perfect working condition.

Yesterday, our other friend had plugged my sansamp and noise compressor through the Effects Loop in the back, and one of them fell out the back. The Mesa was on and on standby when it happened, And i think the breaker or transformer blew inside the head.

The power supply in the rack turns on still, but the Head wont light up or turn on. Need someone to look at it asap/Mesa Store.
We are in a band and we leave for tour early April, so i need it looked it and fixed before then.

Im based in El Centro, California at the moment, But i can drive to San Diego, OC or LA area. I know there's a store in Hollywood.

Also wondering if anyone knows how much it would be, because im from australia and i dont have alot of money at the moment.

Let me know thanks
 
It's extremely unlikely that you blew the transformer. I couldn't begin to guess at what the problem might be beyond that, but it's unlikely to be very expensive to fix. Any good tech should be able to give you an accurate estimate within five minutes.
 
best case scenario: there's a resettable circuit-breaker on the back of that amp, kinda like one you find on some power strips. did you try pressing it to reset it? just trying to help. good luck!
 
There is a big fuse (15 amp I think?) on the back of the amp you can check, and I was told that there is one inside the amp. You will have to take the cover off to get to that one, as well as the pre amp tubes. I would download the manual from Mesa and go through the trouble shooting guide, and if that doesn't work call Mesa Hollywood. I would also check all your cables while your at it. These amps are pretty bullet proof, so I would doubt it would be a costly repair if any.
Hope this helps.
