Please help me troubleshoot my Peavey Classic 30 before I bring it to a shop

Hey all, so recently my classic 30 stopped working. Here's what happened;

Was jamming in the garage with a friend on drums and my amp's volume slowly faded from loud to silent. Then, after like 10 seconds it weirdly slowly faded back in to full volume, but then faded back out to silence again and has stayed that way since.

Is this indicative of a tube going out? Should I get a new set of tubes?

Is there a switcher/pedal that can reverse the order of two pedals in the chain? (explanation below)

Hey guys, so at the end of my chain right now I have a reverb (Vongon Ultrasheer) but lately I have been making some song ideas using a distortion/saturation pedal after the reverb to add dirt to the reverb trails (Vongon Solarfaze).

Thing is, I have some songs where I like having the distortion before reverb, as is traditional...

Is there some way I can switch the order of the pedals in the chain without having to unplug and re-order them?

Should I try a shim? 5 string jazz bass

EDIT: it seems like the allen key slot on the truss rod is stripped out and the allen key just spins in slot. Rod could maybe still work. Any advice on what I could do about that?

So, I just got a great deal on this guitar for 100 bucks. Classic Vibe Squier.

It has super high action. I started by loosening the strings and seeing if I could bring back the neck bow with the truss rod.

The truss rod unfortunately seems like it just spins, which is not a good sign. Doesn't seem like it is threading in or giving any resistance.

Then, I tried lowering the saddles which helped a bit, but if I go too low I get dead notes past the 12th fret. I made sure to match the radius of the fretboard..

Is my only option before bringing it to a shop to try a neck shim? Raise the heel side up a little bit?

Any advice would be appreciated. I've done setups, but never encountered a non working truss rod and am still an amateur.

What are your Top 3 classes in Convergence 3.0?

Hey all, for those of you who have tried a few or more classes in Convergence 3.0, what are your top 3?

For me, I have only played 3 so far, but am wondering what to choose next.

  1. Stormcaller - super fun physical damage build where I could buff my physical power and speed. Casting a tornado and staggering 5 enemies at once is awesome. I constantly used Cloud Form and Tempest Form, zooming around with storm backhand blades is insane (as well as using Time Warp from Dragon Cultist build for extra speed). Fun build!!

  2. Dragon Cultist - this class was awesome and super flashy. The electric and the new weapons are so fun. Nuking stuff with late spells was awesome. Loved Godwyn's Cragblades.

  3. Blood Initiate - it was fun, but I found the weapons to be a bit lacking. It felt pretty similar to my old arcane builds imo. There were a few good new spells. I haven't fully fleshed out this playthrough yet, but I have not been enjoying it as much.

Is this speaker desirable? 80's MS-12 Black Shadow

So, I came into one of these speakers recently and have been trying to look things up.

Pictured is a listing from a decade ago describing it as rare. There's someone trying to sell one with a blown cone on eBay right now for $250 (obviously too much)

My speaker is identical, functional, sounds great.

Is it actually a rare speaker that a Mesa guy would pay decent money for?

Anyone know what this is actually worth?

How do you all use internet and watch videos on a 4:3 CRT?

Hey guys, I've been considering using my CRT for watching some youtube and playing old shows and stuff.

I've been thinking maybe a Roku stick with a hdmi to component converter, or maybe a Raspberry Pi would be the best route due to more options and possibilities? I heard I can use a TRSS (4 band) to composite cable straight out of a Raspberry Pi into the TV.

What do you guys do?

Can someone please clarify and add detail to this image for my mom? My grandpa was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's and I think she would love this picture.

NAD Music Man HD150 (question for amp guys below..)

Just picked up this HD150 head. It was supposed to come with a 2×12 cab, but for some reason he sold that and didnt change the listing. I tested it on a 4×12, and I mentioned that I'm gonna hook it up to a 112 8ohm 150 speaker I have for now. He suggested I not do that, but I dont get why. It should work, right?

Couple of questions.

  1. On the 8 ohm setting on amp, can I run this into a single 12" 8ohm 150 watt speaker?

  2. 3rd picture shows someone using a patch cable between the normal and bass channels. What does this do?

  3. What happens if I run my stereo pedal output into both the normal channel and bass channel? It seems that both channels operate simultaneously.

Any help would be appreciated!! Excited to get this singing. Just gotta find a good 2×12 cab!
