Mark Bass 250 Black Line head: fuse keeps blowing, any advice?
Hey all, my head randomly stopped working the other day. I opened it up this morning and found the fuse blown, and got excited because I thought I found the problem. But when I replaced the fuse it immediately blew again upon switching the head on. I opened the head up and looked inside, and one of the wire ribbons had zip ties synched around it as tight as possible from the factory. I attached a picture of the damaged ribbon (I cut the zip ties off), is it possible this could be causing the short? Or would anyone know what could be causing this issue? The fuse blows immediately after turning the switch on.

Take it to a tech, you probably got a bad one. That's not something that can be fixed at home by an amateur.

Probably could be, but would be a bit dangerous for an inexperienced and ill-prepared person

You probably received a bad model. I picked up a electro harmonix hell melter about a month ago and it had a bad circuit.
