I have an early model Rebel-20 and matching 1x12 cab that I bought when it first came out 14-15 years ago. Just a practice amp for me, never left the house and cosmetically in Mint shape. Retubed with nice aftermarket tubes soon after I bought it. About 6 months ago it started to make loud pops and scratchy sounds whether or not I was playing - makes playing impossible. Replaced the easy stuff - guitar cord, all the tubes - but no change. EL-84 and 6V6 sides have the same problem.
I live in the Denver area and can't find any amp repair shops within driving distance. My question is what would you recommend I do? I'm concerned that a repair will probably cost more than just buying a new practice amp like a Fender LT25 Mustang.
- Send out of town for a repair ($300+?)
- Sell with the matching cab for a song on Craigslist or somewhere else (What do you think it would be worth? Nothing? $50? more?)
- Keep as a boat anchor
