Vegas 400 troubleshooting

Andrew Wright · From: Indiana, USA

I bought a beat-to-death Vegas 400 from local Craigslist. Did a very quick check in the seller's house with a vocal mic and didn't notice anything unusual, but when I brought it home and plugged in my steel, I'm hearing a very even rythmic, pulsing distortion/popping that seems to be only across the mids. I can reproduce on either channel. I've had mid and shift at 12 o'clock. Does seems like lowering it reduces the effect somewhat, but it's still definitely present. I've taken reverb all the way down, so that's definitely not contributing.

Any obvious things to try or check? It's probably obvious from my sloppy description, but I'm clueless when it comes to amps.

Hey Andrew,
If you can't figure it out, take the amp out of the cabinet and send it to Peavey in Mississippi. For about $55 and any parts, they'll go through it and find the problem. You pay shipping.
They'll make it sound GREAT!
