By Donald Myers


Electric guitar players will use an amplifier so that the music they are playing can be heard. Head and combo units are used and they are made by many different manufacturers. When your musical equipment develops a fault it will need to be fixed and you will be looking for a firm for guitar amp repair and a little research needs to be done beforehand.

A lot of electrical components are used to build an amplifier and they are all important to ensure things work as they should. Amps either use valves or solid state circuits and they need to be attended to by professionals. Due to the voltages that run through amplifiers it is unsafe for untrained people to open them and do any work on them.

Many amps are valuable and it is extremely important to use a qualified engineer to carry out any maintenance. Manufacturer spares should always be used when possible to fix rare or vintage amps to keep them original. If you own a piece of equipment that is still covered by a factory warranty it can be returned to the manufacturer where the repairs will be done for free.

When repairs are needed you can visit a guitar store in your area and they may be able to fix your equipment. A large number of stores will employ engineers who can do jobs in their on site workshop. A lot of stores will also have a comprehensive stock of original spares which you can buy or they can order them for you.

If the company that built your amplifier is still in business it may be worth contacting them to see if they can do your repair work. Many factories can offer reliable repair services and they will have a good stock of original parts. Having manufacturers carry out this work may also help to maintain the value of vintage or valuable equipment.

The web is another useful place to locate a qualified technician that can rectify faults with your musical equipment. You can log onto their web site and browse the available services and you can email them to arrange the repairs. If you choose to use an internet based firm you will also need to pay for carriage and the amp will have to be insured against damages or loss while it is in transit.

When the repairs are done and your amp is working it is important to keep your payment receipt for the work. Many firms will guarantee their work and you will need receipts if you make a claim. If you buy spares to do your own repairs you should also retain the receipts in case any of the items need to be exchanged or returned.

To avoid faults developing and having costly repairs done there are some things you should do regularly which will keep musical equipment in good condition. Always store amplifiers in a safe place and keep them covered to keep dust out. It is advisable to get the equipment checked by a technician at regular intervals to check for any wear and faults.
