Hughes and Kettner ZenTera 200w stereo modelling head in @shroprockdoctor for a memory battery replacement. Had to install a different format cell to the original but it’s still a Varta Mempack 2.4v 80h rated package. Presets are now retained after a power down. This amp arrived with the H&K Zboard controller which requires the proprietary […]

This 3 way toggle from a ’78 Gibson Les Paul Custom is the reason the guitar came in @shroprockdoctor on Wednesday. I was preparing for a swap out & had a replacement on hand. On removal I realised the Switchcraft branded toggle was good quality & perfectly serviceable, held together with just two screws. A […]

Back @shroprockdoctor is Mr McCreadie’s ’78 Gibson Les Paul Custom for attention to the three way toggle switch which was chemically cleaned when serviced but unfortunately is still intermittent. While testing the guitar after the switch repair I noticed that the two tone controls were extremely ineffective. Turned out the ceramic caps weren’t working properly. […]

Marshall DSL100H @shroprockdoctor for repair of an unspecified fault. Powered up via variac the fault presents as a loud hum through the connected speaker. All fuses intact. Owner has apparently installed new valves which as can be seen in the image we’re all incorrectly seated in the bases. Valves are now correctly installed but […]

Ibanez RG series super Strat sporting a Roland GK2 hex pickup @shroprockdoctor. Fret dress & setup. This is actually my guitar that has been hanging on a wall unplayed for a couple of years. A customer came to collect an amp I repaired & I handed him this guitar to try out his amp. […]

Finishing up today @shroprockdoctor we are as far as trying to source the memory battery for this H&K zenTera modelling amplifier head. The rechargeable ni-mh battery pack is a Varta flat package with 3 pins & is proving quite a task to source. It is a 2.4v 80mah package. I removed it from the processing […]

A pair of Alesis M2 active studio monitors on soak test playing Tool & now being treated to some Dream Theater @shroprockdoctor. Amplifiers had to be removed to re-cap the power supplies, again poor design with electrolytic capacitors in close proximity to heatsink getting their electrolyte boiled. guitarfx #guitar #rackeffects #homerecordingstudio #guitarrepair #caudio #amplifier #bridgnorthbusiness […]

Today @shroprockdoctor we have a Hughes & Kettner zenTera head with memory problems & the accompanying pedal controller that requires an interconnect cable making to join this pair together. The cable is a bespoke rj45 in an xlr shell to a db9 plug. 10 meter length in a braided sleeve has been requested. #guitarfx #guitar […]

An additional request was to implement a more permanent solution as to the protection of the autograph of Wasp guitarist Mr Chris Holmes. After removing Eds taped on temporary cover I have fashioned a […]
