I am probably wrong. There is no reason why you couldn't repair a solid state amp, but hardly anyone does. Perhaps because solid states are not that expensive to begin with. Why pay $200 for repairs when you can just buy a brand new amp?]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/i-must-be-practicing-too-hard/#post-174402 RE: I must be practicing too hard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/i-must-be-practicing-too-hard/#post-174400 Mon, 01 May 2006 02:49:50 +0000 And this brings up another issue. You can usually repair a tube amp and get it working again. But usually when a solid state goes, it is finished for good. Crap, you're kidding :evil: I think the DSL is definately a better amp (no question), but I like the vox a lot too...Its a great practice amp.]]> Guitar Players Discussion MattyPretends116 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/i-must-be-practicing-too-hard/#post-174400 RE: I must be practicing too hard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/i-must-be-practicing-too-hard/#post-174390 Mon, 01 May 2006 01:33:52 +0000
I would repair the DSL401. It will cost you about the same as a low cost amp, but you will have a great amp after the repair. I bought my DSL401 on EBay like you. I had read about the many problems people had with this amp, but for the low price it was worth it. The amp played good for one year and then the volume started dropping out. Sometimes it would come back, other times you had to turn the amp off. I went to a Marshall amp site and saw where several others had this identical problem. It was the preamp heater rectifier. Anyway, I took it in and it cost me about $175 to get it repaired. But now this is one awesome sounding amp. It is loud and has great tone. I love it.

I thought about just going out and getting a new solid state amp like the Behringers. They sounded good too. But I am glad I got this amp repaired.
