Little Dot Tube Amps: Vacuum Tube Rolling Guide
Jul 9, 2016 at 6:33 PM Post #10,280 of 13,432
  Guys.. need help with my little dot mk 3 it looks like it has stopped working all together.
 
It powers on and passes traffic but does nothing to the signal.
 
If I turn the amp off it passes audio.. if I turn it on it passes audio but does not change the signal at all. The volume knob does nothing.
 
I just used my friends amp as a test.. plugged the cables in the exact way same way with the same cables and volume and the audio sounds 100x better.
 
Any ideas? This amp is like 5+ years old so im sure it has no warranty..
 
 
Currently my audio is plugged into the output side of the amp.. if I plug it into input I get no audio at all its like .1% sound.

Have you checked your tubes

Update on this.. im now plugged into the input with my RCA cables and I am getting audio out of the left can. The right can has no audio on it at all... any ideas?
 
All I hear is static or a low hum in the right ear. 
 
Also I know this is somehow related to the amp and not wiring bc as soon as I swap out my friends little dot 1+ in the exact same wiring everything works great..
