This BeamZ S1500 smoke Machine came in with half of the power rocker switch missing. Fitted a new red illuminated rocker & put A PAT on it. The unit is missing the timer remote supplied with the machine when purchased. I was asked to source a replacement which is proving difficult as it appears BeamZ […]

Takamine acoustic that came in with no output from the on board preamp underwent a strip out of the complete electrical system to give all component parts a visual check. A quick search online reveals that the preamp failure in these models is very common, the root cause being failed electrolytic capacitors, most of which […]

Test weld using the Kweld, post system set up. 30J setting of the available 500J. Test strip was pure nickel as will be used to interconnect the cells of the battery pack. View this post on Facebook

On the bench today @shroprockdoctor we have nothing musical 🤔, instead we have a spot welding device requiring assembly and setup. The Kweld device capable of 500 joules of welding power & its controller with 2000A of Mosfet switching, supplied by a bank of ultra capacitors charged in this case by a server computers power […]

Pignose travel guitar rebuilt, rewired, restrung & retuned.

G string tuning instability may be a machine head issue. #bridgnorthbusiness #shropshirebusiness #guitartech #guitarrepair #guitarsetup #guitarservice #guitar #pignoseguitar #pignoseguitars #travelguitar #travelguitars […]

Dean Markley Overlord pedal came for a service to rid it of excessive noise at the output. This tube Overdrive pedal also houses a transformer which drops the mains supply to just over 12vac to supply power to the tube (12ax7) & the board. The transformer itself was intermittently physically noisy as it didn’t fit […]

Dropped off today by my friend Xenophon Haber-Percy we have an Overlord Tube Overdrive pedal. This is used to add some nastiness to his bass before it gets to the Ampeg SVT Classic & 6×10 cabinet 🙄😁. The unit is outputing noise at varying levels. Initially this looks to be an issue with the power […]
