Help! Fender Amp repair advice.

Gavin Ehringer (windanseabeachboy) - 12 Sep 2005 18:52:22

Today, I was playing my mighty Fender Twin Reverb reissue when I noticed the
volume had
dropped to practice amp levels. I then smelled something like burning plastic. I
unplugged
everything - now, I am fearful of plugging it back in. The tubes all seem fine -
it seems
something in the incomprehensible area of those small plastic things attached to
the
circuit board.
Usually, the local guitar shop sends warranty repairs to a local amp
fixer-upper, but I don't
trust him. He's screwed up several past amps of mine, or sent them back as not
worth
repairing. So, I am not sure what to do.
Does anyone have experience with sending a Fender amp back to Fender for
warranty
repair? How is this done? I assume it usually doesn't involve sending the amp to
California!
Any advice would be appreciated.
Gavin
