I have a Roland AC-90.

I would expect there is bad soldering or a circuit board crack. Inspect the soldering aound the leads, especially pots and heavy components. Finding all the retaining screws can be frustrating. Expect the screws for the handle to also attach to the amp chasis. They are often hiodden under plastic caps.

I have had this for two weeks. My kids had switched the on switch on and left it that way and I came in in the afternoon and it wont turn on now.

There may have been a power surge that took out the fuse. At least that's the first step.

I've owned a Roland AC-90 acoustic guitar amp for

I don't have the exact schematic... however sometimes they have RF bypass capacitors to ground on the balanced input lines and one side gets shorted. The schematic I do have is for an AC100. It shows a rather unconventional input circuit. You can download it here and it MIGHT be close to your unit:

I note that this unit does NOT have Phantom power so you CANNOT use a condenser type mic with it unless you use a preamp with Phantom power... Maybe that is the problem?

Volume fades when I push it even a little bit. I

This unit has a TDA8920 dual switching class "D" switching amp chip that is thermally protected. If you heat it up it will shut down to protect against overheating. Each side of this is ONLY a 50 watt amp chip HOWEVER they run it at a lower than rated voltage that limits it to about 30 watts per side. Your dial setting number have NOTHING to do with the power limits of the unit. When you use the looper, there are more frequency components added, and all these consume part of the available power. Also make sure the mics and the guitars cannot "hear" the speakers in this otherwise high frequency feedback may occur above what you can hear and use some of the capabilty... hint... reduce the treble boost... The only way to measure the power output is to put a scope or test equipment on the output and compute the power. I suspect you are driving the unit too hard. The unit should give adequate output for a 15 foot square room to a level that *********** could just barely tolerate. Yes, the power amp chip is thermally protected and if you drive it to hard it backs the power down till it cools off.

I have one AC 90

That will be step 1 to what will probolly become quiet a bit of problems. I'm not huge on this unit but generally speaking if you opened the chassis your going to see a few burnt components (rectifier,diodes,transistors). But lucky 220 hits so hard it's usually just a replace the stuff you see burnt (get schematic if possible) it's a pretty straight forward repair.

Hi. Can I use the second pedal on my Roland BK5 to scale up the key one semitone at a time?

Yes, you can use the second pedal on a Roland BK-5 keyboard to transpose the key of the music that you are playing up or down by a semitone at a time. To do this, you will need to press and hold the second pedal while playing the keyboard. You can also use the transpose function in the settings menu of the BK-5 to adjust the key of the music that you are playing by a specific number of semitones.

I need a circuit diagram for a Roland MA-15D speaker please?

It's a Chinese made Roland and no service information is available as when a fault is found the main board is replaced, eliminating the need for service information. I would check that it is a stereo out jack and not mono. If it is a stereo out, check that both input phonos work. If they do, replace the faulty socket or damaged pcboard.
