Re: [synthcart] Re: how do u hook up a atari 2600 to a amp???..........help

Hi,
I'm not in the mood of playing the boogey man,
but I have to tell:
beware of guitar amps,
I got my (audio video) moded atari jr
ruined by a guitar amp (a valvular one)

It worked really cool for a while just until
I pluggued it to that stupid guitar amp.
It would look so indie (to use a guitar amp) but is
really trash for me :(
All I got from it (the atari) now is a low hum,
all the other functions still works,
It seems to be that the audio video chip got
broken by some tension leak of the amp.

If anyone can help me to know how to fix it that will
make me very happy!

I didn't replace the atari yet, but the synthcart
seems to be untouched, all the carts I put give the
same hum but good video and functionality.

sorry my weird english.

That sucks that your amp broke your atari, I would suggest having that amp looked at. You never know if it'll hurt your other equipment. I don't understand why...
