No I haven't, but maybe I should.

They notified me today that I could have it repaired myself for a reimbursement or wait ANOTHER 24 to 48 hrs for a PP shipping label to be emailed. Wow, I wonder how long it would take to get reimbursed??? In the mean time, the Gallien-Krueger MB200 I ordered as a new back-up amp 2 days ago...

After much research and reviewing, I decided to trade in 2 working combo amps (Fender & Peavey) for 1 PF500 half-stack. Had it for 3mo. played two shows and a number of rehearsals. After the 3rd show it sat for a week without being used. Last night at rehearsal powered it up and noticed the...
