Originally posted by phlop: Pissed off, I opened up my amp today to see if I coudl see anything... then this wierd smell of burning electronics came from it... (reminded me of when I used to throw electronics in the fire when I was a kid)... anyways... there was no smoke, and no smell when it happened, so I didnt think it was blown... What should I be looking for inside?
Look for darkened areas on the circuit board that have gotten hot, and for darkened/blackened/otherwise fried-looking components as others have said.
If you get a new amp and aren't going to fix the fried one, don't throw it away -- I might give you a few bucks for it at a meet.
