So there could be light at the end of the tunnel for me. I wrote a post about my problem on the Fryette FB fan group and got a response from the Steven Fryette himself. They are getting together some kind of tech support for the EU region but it will take them some time. And one kind guy sent me...

The amp was working but there was quite a hum. So I checked the power tubes bias with probes and there was a huge mismatch between them. So I took the chassis from the headshell and put a new tubes there. Then when I hit standby switch there was a big spark somewhere in the poweramp section of...

So two of the voltage regulators were replaced and the other checked. Still the voltage fluctuates and the red channel boost is stuck. No reply from the fryette support yet. I even offered to buy a new pcb if possible but got no response on that. I'm really getting mad about Fryette. They make...

This is the email I sent yesterday to fryette support. Hello sir, this is my last desperate attempt to get my broken Sig X working. My tech guy has been working on it for a very long time. I had even borrowed another SigX head from my friend and he had made some progress with it. But he could...

So it looks that without help from Fryette my SigX is a brick. I'm writing my last desperate email and hope for the best. Wish me luck guys 🥺

Good job dude :) I have borrowed another SigX from my friend so my tech could get some measurements but it is still a very difficult job to get it repaired without proper schematic.

Good luck buddy. My SigX is also down and has been with my tech for several months now. I have similar issue like you. I have contacted fryette support and they were somewhat responsive at first and wanted some pictures of the pcb and description of the problem from my tech guy. We have provided...

Good news :) I have ordered the metal grill from Haar guitars in Netherlands. Got it today :) So if anyone in Europe / EU wants it then write to Erik from Haar gutars. He is really great guy. Got an response to my multiple emails from Bogner too. They have some issues with shipping to EU. USA...

Yep, it does. So they have some of these available.. But not for sale or I don't know. And I know another dude that has the same experience as me when he tried to contact Bogner to buy it for his amp.

They don't respond about the Uberschall grill so I don't think that I could squeeze a reply about the XTC one.

Not the same buddy. The Bogner one looks killer. So no luck getting reply from the Bogner. I'm just getting ignored again. It is exactly the same like 2 months ago. I'm just not worthy of any response from them. I don't know why it is so hard to write me back a short message that it is not...

Thanks, so I will send them another mail. Maybe I will be more lucky this time.

Sorry for this necrobump! But I really want to replace the front cloth grill of my Uberschall with a metal grill. I tried to contact Bogner some weeks ago (on both the info and sales email addresses and FB page also) but got no response about that. When I asked them about some technical info I...

Hello :) The loops on engl amps have a mix knob so you can use them as parallel or serial when you turn them fully clockwise /mix on 100%/.

Hello :) Check this thread - https://www.rig-talk.com/forum/threads/wizard-mcii-tube-layout.160198/ So you want to experiment with V1-V2 tubes. I have good experience with the chinese 12ax7 or the new JJ preamp tube - E83CC. They are a little bit brighter than the normal Ecc83 by JJ. And if...
