Amp lost power and smelled like something was burning

More in likely a voltage drop in the club, and the mixers power transformer was fighting for power, so it's brunt or burning up, also there are capacitors that filter the AC transformer hum, they Probably need to be replaced, this can be fixed tho, parts and labor might not be cheap...

sounds like pre-amps or audio chips gone.

One channel got fried, let me know a bit more.

If it is a tube amp, the tube finals may not be producing enough free electrons from the heater and should be replaced.

The same can be true of the preamp tubes as well, but they also tend to become more noisy.

If it is a solid state amp, Or you just retubed a tube amp Check to see if the filter caps are begining to fail. These will usually reveal themselves as more 50 or 60 Hertz hum or harmonic thereof depending on the mains frequency and which cap is failing. While not highly likely, it is also possible the power transformer is failing- but it will produce a burned smell if it does.

The speaker is blown. Did it smell a little funny when this happened. Sometimes they get a faint burning smell when they blow. Some Peavey amps especially older ones are known for letting DC current slip through to the speaker and blows it immediately. Most of the rest of the amp deals with that pretty well so I'm not quite sure what going on with the standby switch. Probably just a blown bulb.

They are NOT called motherboards, just circuit boards.

Sometimes the board can be restored by carving out the black and re-insulating it and repairing the cause and bad components.

Likely the power transistors have shorted that are associated with that side and burned compnents.

Many shops will only replace the whole board rather than do the labor to restore the board... Yes, either way it will be expensive to repair.

Causes of these failures can be overdriving the amp. bad speakers and or cables. Loose speaker connectors that vibrate can lead to this.

Another problem can be if SUPERSONIC (can't hear it) feedback is occuring at high frequencies that overloads the amp.

You did a lot of damage, and replacing the fuse and trying it has caused much more.

There will be about seven blown parts on the amp and a dozen on the power supply. To give you an idea of the extent, the WHOLESALE parts cost is roughly $50, including the main power supply switchers IGBT's which cost nearly $20 for the pair by themselves.

I have repaired several of these and the larger cousin the PMP5000. It is a lot of skilled work to repair these.

The cause is a marginal insulation between layers of the multi-layer amplifier board. Usually the rearmost amp arcs between the layers. This fries three big switching transistors followed sometimes by a metering resistor and two small surface mounted transistors. A zener diode often goes. The cancer and burned area has to be ground out with a dental drill and new wire replaces the blown circuit traces.

If you are under warranty, take the unit for replacement.

The thing that can arc the amp is if speaker leads are marginal or get pulled out while under power. Excessive volume, especially pulses at high level can break down the insulaton causing the arc and failure. The black smoke is likely from the metering resistor.

Not good. If you have electronics experience, you can replace the power amp IC to fix it.

BIG problem! You should NOT have replaced the fuse as additional damage has been done. I repaired a PMP5000 and I can tell you likely what you will find: The smoke and smell came from two power resistors that are part of the soft start circuit that now are toast. You will likely find several components in the main portion of the power supply that are toast. These will include transistors, resistors, diodes, and probably the small 8 pin switching regulator chip. There is a small power supply that comes on first which enables a relay that shorts out those soft start resistors AFTER the power amplifier BALANCES and normalizes.
The unit I repaired had severe damage due to arc-over at one power amp section. Three power transistors were destroyed there and board traces and charring had to be handled in that section.
The repaired unit had to be brought up with a light bulb in series with the line power cord to prevent further damage until all bad parts were discovered and repaired. You will need to take the unit to a shop that is expperienced with the product. The repair cost MAY be pretty high.
