Fuck...

Well, I was doing some rewiring on me Mockingbird, and I was testing on my Blue Voodoo to see if it worked. Although I know wiring real well, I am unfamiliar with common tube amp problems. What happened is I accidently left it on all night/half of the next day. When I came to play it, I though,"Fuck" and tried to play to see if it still worked. To my dismay, the Power Tube lights were not on, and it made no sound. Mind you, the standby was on all night, so I wouldnt have been able to hear it. I tried changing tubes, the fuse. Niether worked.

Just please tell me I didn't do any damage to the PT.

Ouch. I saw the same thing happen to someone else to, but his amp still worked. Does the amp actually turn on? Do the tubes actually light up? If not take it to a technician.

WTF. That amp probably has some issues with cooling / crappy power transformer then. I had a 2203 that i used to leave on all the time since i sort of played 10 minutes - was off five and so on, just switching standby off and that never happened to that one.. Try measuring the voltage at the PT's secondary, you should measure around 380 volts AC.
