Unfortunately, I can offer no more than moral support and the occasional shovel to the back of the head, but I offer both of those freely and willingly. I agree. But the person should be Icarium. He needs to be the one to decide whether or not to completely scrap the amp and do a complete rebuild, or to try to do a fix. Personally, I think a fix makes more sense, as I do believe it would be worthwhile to find out what the amp was supposed to sound like, but that's if it was me. I agree, but even I would be more than hesitant to send anything to him. As overkill as it sounds, I think Icarium should take Mikhail up on his offer to fly out, otherwise the amp will end up back in purgatory. (That's if the buying the amp back idea doesn't work out.)
