Why we do what we do

A little info can go a long way.

My name is Christopher (most folks call me Chris) and I bought my first Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV in 2018. It developed channel switching problems in 2021. I succecssfully repaired it - but it developed the same channel switching issue, again, shortly thereafter. I figured this was the result of an err in my reparitive methods and placed her to the side.

In 2022, I purchased my second Hot Rod Deluxe IV. It went bad in the same manner in late 2023. Fortunately, it was still under warranty and was replaced with a new amp from the retailer. In December of 2024, that replacement amp, my third Hot Rod Deluxe IV, went bad. Same malfunction as the first two. No warranty to speak of. No local tube amp service technician - not that I could find. Plenty of frustration, curiosity and drive for a resolution towards such a predictable and repetitive issue.

In my early adulthood, I attented an electronics engineering institute via correspondance. I am well versed and trained in the theories, technologies and techniques that comprise this branch of science. It all started when I built my first guitar pedal back in 1994.

Fast forward thirty years and here we are - two identical amps with identical problems and nobody in town to professionally repair them. Until now...
