budget bassist Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 (edited) basically i took this head into the shop to get it fixed as it was making a LOUD buzzing noise even with gain and output down, and it turns out the power supply has had it and they want £80 to fix it. Obviously it's not really worth it, so i'll sell it spares or repair if you need some parts or if you know someone that's handy with electronics. Just shoot me some offers, i'm not looking for much. EDIT: i think my dad is going to try and fix it, if not it's going back up for sale Edited July 16, 2009 by budget bassist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do then its almost certainly a power supply capacitor thats failed or come detached from the pcb. £80 is taking the p*ss to fix that.
