son of frog Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 This may be cosmetic damage, and as much as this faithful combo has been through the wars, this issue is rather irritating, The GAIN knob has come off and i need an ingenious way to re fit it, One of the sides of the two pronged slot for the knob has broken off, this is not just about the cosmetics of the amp, but is slightly annoying when you don't know what level of gain you're on, I don't really have to technical know how to take the head out and put a new one in, But if anyone knows a good guitar tech around Guildford / Godalming or one willing to travel that would also be appreciated... Any help welcome... Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold it against the remaining piece of shaft and push the button back on. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
