    Hello
    ISO repairs, Blues Deluxe original, I’m located in south coast Oregon, anyone know of a tech in Oregon?

    Many music stores that sell guitars/amps have relationships with amp techs in the area that they send amps out for repair. Just find out the "bench fee" the tech charges, along with the hourly rate for work above and beyond the time the bench fee covers.

    What are the issues you are experiencing with the amp? Often, the only thing that needs to be done is to replace the electrolytic capacitors, which can be done without removing the pcb board.

    This amp is coming back to me after two more guys played it. Shouldn’t have sold it in the first place, however kinda cool it’s coming back around. The complaint is a scratchy pot. I’ll not know to what extent there’s any issues until it’s back in my possession. I figured on doing the planning for repairs while waiting to cross paths with the amp in the next couple of months.
