If it was ran over by a truck, it's probably dead. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

The amp turns on and everything but there is no noise out of the amp at all when I play the guitar. I would try to play another guitar through the amp but I do not have one . The tuner also shows straight Bb's coming out of my guitar even when nothing is being played. Its an epiphone special II (or as I call a POC model, piece of crap) and i've never had problems like this before with it. I checked the interior but my electronics expertise is minimal and I wouldn't know if something was wrong if I did see it. I would love to throw one on my credit card but I am paying my way through school and just sold 2 guitars so buying another would be kind of backward You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

In that way you'll be sure if the amp still works. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Feb 17 2009, 07:50 PM	Learning Rock Star Posts: 604 Joined: 17-June 08 From: NB. Canada	Yeah I tried that, that is what led me to believe it was the guitar and not the amp... I just sold 2 guitars the epiphone is the one I decided to keep as it would be the least in value... All that money went towards school tuiton and I do not graduate until july so I am pretty much the definitiion of the starving student.
