I will assume that you tried all new cords? That's first. Then guitar. I know you have probably done this but have to be sure. After that, the only thing that comes to mind is that a power surge from plugging the pedal power back in with the amp running may have overextended the speaker voice coil. THIS IS JUST A GUESS. You should try a different speaker BY ITSELF with the amp and see if it changes. Then let us know. Mike. |

Thanks for your quick respons. I tried new cords and another guitar allready. It makes no difference. Later today i will put in the original speaker. |

Today I replaced the Jensen 100W c12K speaker and tested the amp with the original "music man"-speaker (i'm not sure what brand and model it is). Surprisingly the amp sounds bright, clean and punchy again. So the problem was the speaker. |

Maybe not replace it but maybe secure it so the power doesn't come unplugged. Also, speakers, many time, get burned up by having DC on the outputs. You MIGHT want to have the amp tested to see if there is an bunch of DC voltage getting to the speaker. Mike. |
