Well alrighty then. Doesn't matter it's not my problem anymore.

Where he measured it's split between the 2 so 70 total. He discusses the trim/bAlance pot if you wanted to tweak each but were assuming here that they both are drawing the same.

Mine did something similar and I had several issues. Bad tubes, bad soldering,
Bad voice switch. That all played a part.

Fixed by a tech and then very recently had a fuse blow and some other issues.

Fixed that myself.

Wanna buy mine? Lol

Haha....typing on my ipad I guess I hit the wrong letter!

I've had it roughly a year and a 10 months.....the first issue happened under factory warranty, the latest one obviously not.

Yeah I went to the Marshall forums for help. I have pro coverage thru gc but I don't feel like dealing with the hastle if I can manage to fix it myself. It's on the trade block when it's running. I have a Marshall dsl40c that does the job. 60w is too much for the house anyway.

Had similar issue with mine coupled with power/vol loss across both OD.


Tech repaired it under warranty. Attributed to a faulty switch/wiring of the voice and channell switches on Od2.

Sounds good as new now.
