Hey folks, new member here with an issue i can't find any info on. Hopefully this is the right sub; mods feel free to move this if theres a better sub for this question. Ive got a Mesa Maverick that was supposedly tuned up at their headquarters a couple years ago. No idea what they actually did though. I was playing a rhodes at low volume through it via a di last night, and every so often the power light would flicker and make a noise through the speakers. It wasnt bad and I'm used to old amps having character like this so I kept playing, and then the power light went out for good and the amp is silent. The fuse is good (confirmed with a meter) and the big tube on the left (rectifier tube?) does heat up when on standby. None of the other tubes come on though. Ive tried swapping each of the EL84s to no success. I can't imagine it would be any of the harder to reach 12ax7s but i can check there soon. Any ideas what could have caused this? Did I kill it with the rhodes? Thanks in advance for any help. If it would help, i might have recorded the sound it made when it died and i could post it.
