i am not sure as to what the problem could be.

a poorly seated or "blown"
Tue, 2008/04/15 - 8:43am — firebranda poorly seated or "blown" tube would still allow for power up but no sound. I would try another PS if you can. Rocktron and older Digitech RPs use the same PS.
Firebrand is right on this

If the tube doesn't power on, that's the problem.
I would get another power cable, before I would send it off.
The tube should last a very long time.
Can always test the voltage

Thu, 2008/04/17 - 7:04am — firebrandAfter cracking open the defunct power supply that came with my TLSE to put a new cable on it (from an old Digitech doner) I discovered that inside the Vox PS is a fuse. If you get a chance to try another PS and it works, then I would try cracking open the (then diagnosed) broken PS and replace the fuse.
haha no i haven't been
Wed, 2008/04/23 - 1:08am — spasmodichaha no i haven't been mistreating my tony i have tried everything you suggested (prior to your suggestion) wall socket was working, both ends of ps were plugged in.
also, after removing the tube, i noticed one of the pins was a charcoal colour. im thinking this could be the problem. however, still unknown. my unit is just over a year old and is out of warranty.
i purchased it over the internet at a well known music store.
has anyone had to send their tlse away for repair? if so how much did it set you back?
well the pin may very well
Wed, 2008/04/23 - 9:31am — mself61well the pin may very well indicate trouble try another tube.

Just an update.. sent it to
Tue, 2008/05/13 - 3:49am — spasmodicJust an update..
sent it to a local circuit board repair place and they found that the fuze in the psu (even though i already checked it) had blown. they also pulled it apart and soldered up some "dry connections". all for a hundred bucks!
should've done it myself.
thanks for the suggestions.
god bless
$100 ?!? That better be the
Tue, 2008/05/13 - 5:39pm — firebrand$100 ?!? That better be the cleanest job ever. Did they fix just the PSU? You could get a new one for 1/2. It's the same PSU that Rocktron and Digitech used in the mid 90s. Korg also uses it on a couple keyboard models.
Man, I am glad after that painful extraction it all works. Did they give you a complimentary pillow?
Maybe the guy wanted to really grow up to be a dentist...
hahaha.. they did just fix
Wed, 2008/05/14 - 12:23am — spasmodichahaha.. they did just fix the psu... i would've gotten a different psu.. but i live in a small-ish town with not many music shops. im just glad they didnt stuff it up.
Wow, that's an expensive
Wed, 2008/05/14 - 5:58am — tbyrdWow, that's an expensive fuse.

yeah... didn't someone find
Sat, 2008/05/17 - 8:05am — mself61yeah... didn't someone find them for like 16 bucks ? I should have bought all they had and saved you some money and made myself 10 bucks or so.

No doubt. I am still waiting
Sat, 2008/05/17 - 2:44pm — firebrandNo doubt. I am still waiting on the "new" one that the guy I bought my TLSE is supposed to be sending. In the mean time I Frankensteined one from the original broken PS and a cord from the PS for an old RP6.

Firebrand, does www.errorhead.com look familiar to you somehow (your avatar...)?
That's nice. Not me, but
Sun, 2008/05/18 - 4:15pm — firebrandThat's nice.
Not me, but it's nice.
Especially with the strat.
When I have time I will redo my avatar with that or a PRS.
I don't own nor have any inkling to own a Les Paul.
It was just easier to create.
