Ruarl Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 My trusty old GK MB 150S is having a bad time. I just tried plugging it into a cab for the first time in a while, and after a few minutes of playing, the output suddenly faded to nothing over the course of a few seconds. It still works out of the built-in speaker, just not the powered output. Can anyone recommend someone in the vicinity of Manchester to take a look at this for me? Ta, Andy.

stevie Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Roland Lumby in Salford. Lovely guy and a genius with amplifiers. https://www.facebook.com/theampclinic/ {Edit] Also as honest as the day is long. He won't rip you off.

Ruarl Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Just in case anyone else finds this thread, Roland Lumby now only does restorations of classic valve amps. He doesn't take solid state work at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hard feelings at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m taking the poorly little amp to see him when I get the chance. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I’ve had expensive and poor results with two of the leading amp techs in Manchester - this with extremely high-end ss gear - real studio quality kit. Roland wouldn’t touch it (valve only). I’m now at a loss and looking outside the city. Good luck to the op with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
