My peavey combo 300 is dead

I was jamming with my band when my bass started sounding horrible and I noticed a burn odor coming from my peavey combo 300 amp. I think something might have blew up in there. Now whenever I plug my bass in the amp, the sound is yucky, like really distortionned and choked. The amp really is unusable. Any idea on how to fix it? :hmm:

Thank you :smug:

Hi.

^+1. Tech time for sure.

Don't wait until the amp is dead silent, its far easier to diagnose and repair a limping patient, than it is to do the same for a dead one ;).

BTW, if You had your location filled, people could better point you to the direction of the techs in your area.

Hi.

Don't take this the wrong way, but from the information You've given to us, I'd say that repairing it by yourself is not possible, feasible or safe.

If You were an EE, I'd say that You have a chance.
Or if You were an electronics hobbyist with decent experience in building and fixing electronic gadgets, that might help.

Neither of the above wouldn't automatically mean a success though.

This, as almost all the questions like this, is the perfect example of the age old phrase:

If You have to ask, You can't.

Sounds like it needs some attention, where do you live?
