Peavey 5150 needs repair

[guitarman78]

Hi,

My peavey 5150 200W combo amp is more than 10 years old. I've recently changed all my tubes, but one problem led to another. My EQ knobs (Bass, Treble, Mid, Presence, Resonance, Post gain) does not make a difference no matter how I tweak from min to max. I searched from the internet, some people with similar problem said that I might need to change the circuit board.

Does anyone know where can I send this for servicing? Is it worth servicing it? I tried Swee Lee before but they say don't do it anymore.

Regards
Glenn Fong

Sounds like you may a bad solder joint somewhere. You can try either Guitar Connection or Goose for repairs.

as long as you have a good attenuator, the 5150 is a killer amp. too loud for home use that is for sure.

if you want to get something different, just sell it as it is instead of lugging it down to a store, wait, pay a few hundred dollars and not like it in the end.
