So my beloved SV-1 went black on me in the middle of a tune at rehearsal yesterday. We speculated it was the tube. I was sure that you just pop it out and replace. Alas, no.
So, a couple of questions: I have seen some folks say that you should be able to run the board without the tube if you don't have the amp sim on. Well, no dice for me. I don't use the amp sim much, anyway (I was playing an acoustic piano.) And the whole thing is dead as a door nail.
Will my friendly local service person do this? How much should I expect to spend? Might it be something besides the tube?
If the warranty is out anyway, have any of you figured out how to change out the tube? I understand some kind of calibration is needed afterward. What is up with that?
Yours in sorrow and frustration,
Ignatius |

i dont think that's the tube; probably should get your SV1 checked out by the local tech... or you could contact Korg and see what they say. |

Turned out to be the humble power plug.
And to file under the Category of Who Knew? - You can buy an adapter that allows you to use any extension chord for the unit - costs about $5 US. The faulty plug has been annoyingly short in many venues, and this solves that problem.
Lovely to have my SV-1 back. If it will still run without the tube - should it fail - that will not be an issue for me, as I rarely use the amp sim, and even more rarely the overdrive feature. |
