well my sound city combo has packed in again. that's the second one i've gone through.

the first one broke, and then broke again on the day i got it back form being repaired, so it was replaced.

the replacement broke and was repaired, and has blown three fuses since then, and then finally in the rehearsal the night before the gig on saturday, it broke again.

and just to top it off, the company has gone bust.

it's a shame as the amp sounds/sounded great, for a £400 40w valve combo it sounded amazing, but i guess the cut price was due to a cut in reliability, and now im in a gigging band i just cant risk using it any more.

so, anyone want to buy an amp? :P

on the plus side i ended up using a 50w mark 4 model, from somewhere in the early '70s, much more reliable and sounds great, which i may be buying for £300
