... poweramp!

So this is the deal I have the list of parts that ¨should¨ make my Microtube100 work but it this a good idea? I meen would you guys try to get it fix rather and gettin a good deal on a newed poweramp (like a Velocity or something scimilar)?

BTW, I will use this poweramp for to power up the MP-1 and the effects in stereo after the mixer (RJM Mini Line Mixer).

I'd fix it if it was not going to be too hard man.  But if it is going to take too long perhaps flog (sell) it for parts and buy a Rocktron.  I was also looking at Roctrons.  They get good reviews :)

Hey El, hard call, but I'm not over fussed with the MT100 so depends how much you like it.  That said I'm all for keeping good things going rather than throw them out.  If you can afford the time and the parts, and you like it, then I'd fix it.  Worth shopping for a spare though and something to use while you fix the MT100. I've made a bunch of amp suggestions in other posts, they all work well with MP1, and there's quite a few recommendations from others worth considering.

Marshall would this be the total parts I should buy to fix my MT100? BTW I put a few more just to have extra.

Yep correct,now you can fix it twice  :lol:

Another tip,reflow (or resolder) those 0.22R 3W resistors,sometimes you get small cracks in the solder due to heat and this also cause the powerfets to blow.

Hey El, lets hope you don't have to fix it twice LOL, glad you are going to fix it BTW  :thumb-up:
