A while back I deployed with the military.
I gave my AxSys 212 and stompbox controller to a friend - figured it was better to be used then leaving it in storage - anyway...
He fried one of the chips (static shock on carpet - apparently this was common with the 212?)
Then left it in a barn for a few years.
:(
Since it was collecting dust I asked for it back. After cleaning it up:
The amp is stuck in "tuning" mode, the stompbox has power but isn't communicating with the amp (buttons, vol pedal, nada) I understand this is due to the fried chip...
There is a dirty hum coming from the speakers that appears to be tied to the master volume knob - crackling when turning it, and dirty hum increases / decreases. (see post below)
I don't really need an amp, but...
I remember how excellent this thing was. Brought me a lot of joy for a long time.
Is it worth fixing it and where would I start?
I hate to just recycle it.
Thanks in advance for any opinions.
