My friend gave me his amp (Line 6 Spider II HD head with the Spider II cab…4x12 Stereo speakers on a slant) for free (yaaa!!!!) but it comes with a problem. The head doesn’t work. While I’m great with fixing guitars, amps are out of my league. He said it was the power supply unit that needed to be replaced and said that would run $200. When asked in depth about it, the more and more vague about what was really wrong or how he knew it was the power supply unit.
When plugged in, it doesn’t even turn on (man I wish I had a voltmeter for things like this). When I get home I’m going to check the fuse and make sure it’s still good.
Where should I take this in to get looked at? Sam Ash? I don’t know if I would trust a large company trouble shooting this and would rather go local but if everyone thinks that what I should do…so be it.
If it’s going to cost me $200 to fix do you think it’s worth it? You can buy them new for $400. I have a Spider Line 6 1 Series 30 watt amp and I kinda despise it. Now granted, this is a new series and I may actually enjoy it.
