Fender Amplifier Repair Center Harlow Essex & Hertfordshire
We love Fenders amplifiers and see many Hot Rod Deluxe, and Blues Junior in for repair, not because they are a troublesome amplifier but they are a good all rounder, being light and punchy with a volume control you can never realistically get above 3 we have a good working relationship with Fender service department and obtain spares regularly.
We’re often seeing lots of Fender amps to repair, not because they’re troublesome but because they are popular. Popular models we see include the hot rod deluxe, blues and daville. Common faults with these amps is excessive humming caused by bad capacitors, crackling and popping caused by heat affected components.
If you have a Fender amplifier needing repair please use the repair ticket and our workshop will assist your repair

Blues Junior Bias
Fender Blues Junior amplifiers are fix biased. We can fit adjustable pots to allow for better bias setting

Hot Rod Deluxe Humming
Is your amp humming excessively, or making a squealing sound when the controls are turned up? We can fit new F&T Storage capacitors
The most common form of Fender amp repairs:
-Broken Pots
-Crackling pots
-Damaged jacks
-Hums & Crackles (caused by dry joints, leaking capacitors)
-Blown Elements
-Played too loud and let out some smoke
-Rarely it’s human error – We try to understand how you use the kit and offer suggestions for best results

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!

My Mesa Boogie 5-50 has become a smoking machine instead of an amp. I dropped it off at SIckamps on Fri and expected to be very costly (several hundreds £) repair. Chris from SIckamps was simply awesome. He explained very well what he will do and even provided his opinion what the problem could be. On Wed next week I received email that the work is done and for the fraction of the expected costs (less then £100). Booked appointment for collection on Thu evening (they work quite late hours on Thu). Tested the amp at home and everything works perfectly again. Very smooth process. Thank you Sickamps and Chris in particular - great service at great price. I will recommend you everywhere I go. read less

In addition, more recently, sometimes the sound would cut out or would suddenly get louder on its own. I would then have to lightly bang on the casing for the volume to come back. Finally, after an embarrassing episode in church when the power cut out during Mass right in the middle of a hymn, I knew it was about time I fixed it (you think!).Anyway, I took it to Sickamps, booked an emergency repair service, and in less than 24 hrs Chris had identified the fault fixed it, sent me an email report detailing how he had identified the fault, what he had done to fix it, how he had cleaned out and lubricated the insides and how he had tested the repair to ensure it was working perfectly. I drove down to their workshop and picked up the keyboard from a smiling and very pleasant Chris, who further explained everything and even showed me the pictures he had taken of the cause of the problem. I was impressed by his excellent customer service and technical expertise.As soon as I got home, I took my MOXF8 out of its keyboard bag and set it up, and it sounded great, but something else seemed different about it. Then it hit me. It looked newer and better than before, and then I realised that Chris had also detail cleaned the entire outside casing of the keyboard and the keys, etc., without even mentioning it. I can't stop smiling. Chris, if you ever read this review, thank you very much for your outstandingly good work and outstandingly good customer service, and from now on, I will try and keep my MOXF8 as clean and pristine as you have made it. read less
