Well, on the off chance that anyone here knows I decided to post to see if anyone can help me with a bit of a problem I am having. I have a Krank Krankenstein head/cab half stack that is giving me problems and I was curious if someone had an idea as to why .

Well about 4 weeks ago I turned on my Krank to play, and it decided to not play. At first I thought it was the cord, so I got a new one recently (SP1000 Monster) connecting my Krankenstein (original) to the Krank cab.

After I did all the connections, I turned on my Krank for the first time in a while all excited to play but almost nothing came out. I always let my tubes warm up for like a good 2 or 3 minutes and usually that gives a fantastic quality sound, but unfortunately I have not been able to hear this sound because the Krank is somehow malfunctioning.

Now to describe the problem (as best as I can): Well from the instant I turn the stand-by feature off and try to play anything, what comes out is a VERY very faint signal, and what sounds like Filiment moving around. It sounds considerably worse on the Dime channel (the high gain makes it a worse SSSSSSS sound and the Filiment sound and almost no signal, maybe 1% of what should be close to 50% of volume). All of the tubes glow evenly and the Krank is VERY rarely moved anywhere, never dropped or smoked around. The closest thing I can describe it as, if you ever had a guitar that had connection issues, you know the sound of it semi-connecting to the amp giving only a small sample of what is being pushed out by the pick-ups. My guitar works just fine and I know all the cables are fine, so logically the only thing that is left is the Krankenstein.

Before I take it in to get repaired and probably shell out a couple hundred for the repairs, I wanted to know if anyone on here has the knowledge of possibly if anyone has experienced such a problem or has any idea what I could do to get this problem fixed.
