well my amp woes are finally over, my dad gave me his 1996 fender performer 100W amp.
the main issue i have is that the line out doesnt seem to work with headphones plugged in, its quite possible that its just bad wiring cause he had to have it serviced before he gave it to me cause it had been up in a damp cold shed for about 10 years.
awesome to have though, the kind of amp that never needs upgrading to something bigger and better.
