Didn't feel like the hassle. Great repair man at my local shop.

Well, $139.00 and a couple of capacitors later, and my Express is back on the front. Still distressing for an amp that had less than 30 hours playing time on it. Made me take my Boogie sticker off the back of my bumper.

So I turned on my 5/50 last night to get some playing in, first time in two weeks. The power light comes on, but not any of the other lights, no sound. This morning I check the tubes, Most inboard AX7 is not on, nor are the two most outboard AX7's. The two center AX7's are glowing, as are the...

So I pick up my new 5:50 (last years model, no equalizer; got a deal) Saturday. After reading many of the post's on this board concerning the 5:50, It looks as if this amp has quit a few tech problems. Been playing for 37 years. My last new amp was the Marshall TSL 100 (Fourteen years ago...
