Hey guys, I just got ahold of a London Reverb head, and cant find much info about it, I searched some other threads and didnt find much. My question is, all of the ends of the pots for the clean channel are broken off, and the reverb button on the footswitch doesnt work. Do you guys think its worth fixing, and where the heck do I find the specialty pots with the push-pulls and push switching? I only paid 100 bucks for it, with a Yamaha 4x12 cab....I was mostly interested in the cabinet. so is the head worth messing with, or should I find a replacement?

Well, in working order it's worth about $300 I think. You might have to bring to a tech to get an estimate before fixing to see if it's worth it.

My amp has been at the shop going on 2 weeks now, needs parts so I know it sucks. You should definitely get it fixed, hopefully it wont cost most than what it's worth. Definitely a cool unit.

Yeah it definitely has it's good points. I wish I had a maunal or something for it. I'm not exactly sure how to use the effects loop, with the send and return levels. I think I had the wrong type of pedal chained into it, because I would turn the loop on, and the level goes WAY down, and sounds extremely tinny. I had a distortion pedal patched into it, which I think should probably be put into the original signal from the guitar, maybe that was the issue...

Check here:

They can send you the manual and schematic for it, might be worth a couple of $ for it.
