Bass Amp Resistor

[WastedJon]

I’ve had a Trace Elliott bass amp since it was built in 1997, it worked brilliantly since I had it until someone decided to plug another amp into the tuner input and have blown something. I’ve found two resistors that seem to have blown and the casing is all scorched, however due to this I can’t read the part number on it. If anyone is able to help point me in the right direction it would be great.



This is a photo of one of the removed resistors.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

It could be a 3 Watt resistor.
Have a look at this page for more info:

Resistor Power Rating Chart [Wattage vs Dimension Sizing]

The actual size of any resistor depends on its wattage rating. The higher its size, the higher the watts it can handle. The chart below presents the power rating of different resistors and their sizes. Remember that actual size may vary. 1/8 Watt Resistor – 1.8 x 3 x 28: It handles 13.88 mA when...

That's on the input??? That looks like a low-ohmage 3W wirewound not usually found on the input side. Got a pic of the area it came from?
