RandomBass Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 When you say snapped off the three controls to the left, do you you mean the Pre Amp A & B and Compressor knobs? Is it just the plastic knobs that are missing - the metal pot shafts are still in place and can be rotated by hand? If so, should be able to locate some suitable replacements knobs from somewhere online. As for servicing, have a look in the Repairs & Technical section on here, I believe there is a pinned thread containing known repair techs.

merlin Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks,looking now,snapped off the pre a&b flush at the bottom of the shafts ,may be able to turn them with a small screwdriver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomBass Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Ouch. Assuming they are metal shafts that must have taken some doing. They are probably soldered into a pcb which can be a nuisance. If the damage was caused by a drop then best get a full health check done on the amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
