Any good techs in the Cincinnati area. (Also opinion on problems)

So, I posted a couple threads about my Peavey Bam210 going down on me. Well, the tech at my store worked on it and said it blew all the output transistors and he replaced them. I played one gig, no problem, then on it's second gig it shut down again, and when you try to fire it up the speakers pump out like it is getting DC, then shuts down, which my friend, who is a professor of Electronics at a college, says probably means they are getting DC current and the output is fried again.

So, in total I have played 7 gigs with this amp and it has fried twice. Do I

A: Take it back to that tech again and let him have another shot.

B: Find another tech that may be a little more up on Peavey.

C: Tell the guy at the store I bought it from to just give me another damn amp that I can trust (my personal favorite at this moment.)

D: Anoint myself in olive oil and frolic with rabbits.....eating carrots.

Thanks in advance for your sage advice

For A: Have your "tech" call Peavey CS for direction. (But don't pay twice for same result).
B: Good plan
C: Eh not so down with that.
D: Sounds like the most FUN!

Well, the original tech is gonna have another shot at this. The guy I bought it from and I both agree he missed something the first time and fixed the effect and not the cause. But in the meantime, I frolicked with the bunnies just for fun.

If it's under warranty, by all means get it fixed.

If not, I'd cut my losses and get something else.
