Amps are dangerous inside!!!!
Amplifiers contain dangerous voltages and users are not recommended to start prodding around inside. We have had many amps in over the years where a video clip on ‘repairing amps’ is used and often creates many more faults. For many people their guitar amp is their tool to earning money, and needs to be carefully repaired and looked after. If you are unsure, do not touch it and call us!

Has transformed the amp and sounds the best it ever has in my 30y ownership; wish I had taken it to Chris eons ago!
