13.04.2011: Beauties on the bench in march:

The Hoof: Nice and tidily manufactured Fuzz by Earthquaker Devices. Didn´t work at all after it was connected to a wrong powersupply. So the power section had to be repaired. Now it fuzzes again.

MIG 50: The first time I ran into one of those. What a beauty!

Before it left the bench it had to be tested thoroughly ;-)))...

Orange Crush10, not working at all.

Normally, nobody would repair an amp you can get for 30 Euros in good used condition. But this one, I was told, has sentimental value. The opamp in the input stage was dead. As this is an often reported issue with this amp a socket for quick swapping was installed. And in with the new opamp. Works fine now.

Roland Jazz Chorus 120 with humming/ ground issues.

Nice to have this classic on the bench. To bad it had some issues. Now its like new. Well it still has a hole in the grill cloth, but that counts as “patina” I guess. I´ll take the chance and have a nice little shootout between this one and its younger adversary: Fenders Power Chorus which is still sitting around in our workshop. Check out the video section!

Fender Power Chorus with a dead right power amp channel and some broken jacks.

Fenders answer to the Roland JC120. You don´t see this amp too often. Probably  because the JC 120 did its thing just right and was played by most famous jazz guitarist. Although Fender´s stereochorus plays a league of its own. And this thing is LOUD!! and stays clean all the way.

G&L L2500 with a faulty volume pot and a badly adjusted bridge.

Leo Fenders last bass design. After Precision, Jazz and Stingray he designed this. One of the loudest basses i´ve heard so far. And one of the fattest five string precis there is. Three toggle switches for: pickup selection, serial/parallel mode and passive/active/active+high boost. The crackly volume pot was fixed by openig it up and cleaning it thoroughly. Bridge adjustment was rather standard.

Just a pile of rubber and copper. If you also want your broken cables repaired, send photos of the plugs and we tell you if it´s worth the trouble.
