No guitar sound from amp

Post by KPA » Thu Oct 06, 2022 5:37 am

Would anybody here know what’s wrong with my amp (Peavey Bandit 112)? It’s making noises when it's switched on and when I tap it, so it definitely ‘works’, but absolutely nothing coming from the guitar when it's plugged in. I’ve played the guitar through a different amp and it works fine so it’s not the guitar or the lead, so I’m at a loss (I'm definitely not technically-minded). I’ve been online but I don’t really know what I’m looking for or how to describe the issue.

If you haven't done so already, use some contact cleaner on all the jacks, switches, pots and connectors. You can also try using a a patch cord from pre-amp out to power amp in. If this helps it's a sure sign that it's time to do some cleaning.
The more I learn the more I realize how much I don't know.
