Budda V-40 Musical Instrument Amplifier User Manual


 
x One simple test to determine whether your amp is experiencing preamp or power
tube problems can be performed by plugging your guitar into the effects return of
your amp:
x If the static or squealing noise continues, then the problem is related to the power
tubes or driver tube (third from left) and they should be replaced.
x If the static noise goes away, then the first or second preamp tube is the culprit
and should be changed. Start by replacing the first position tube, farthest to the left
looking at the rear of your amp.
We suggest changing power tubes every 6 months for those who play their amp more
than an hour per day 3 to 5 times a week. You can get a copy of our tube layout chart
online at www.budda.com (click on Resources).
If you experience any problems other than those already mentioned above, please
contact us for a consultation to determine the problem. You can reach us toll free at
(877) 612-8332, or e-mail us at support@budda.com.
We are excited to be an important part of your sound. Enjoy the tones, and from all of
us at Budda, “play it like it’s on 11!”
