Fried electronics


(Chilled Sanity) #1

So my preamp (Scarlett 18i20), digi keyboard (Korg Kross), keytar ( Korg RK100s) and guitar bridge (SeymourDuncan Nazgul) got fried in a power surge and I dont know If i should upgrade them, Buy new or get them somehow repaired.

Does anyone have any suggestions on it and how to protect electronics from getting fried from sudden power cuts/surges?

buy that box thingy that has 2 plug and 2 red switches. It stabilizes your electricity when power surges.

A multi-gang plug socket with built in surge protection should be pretty easy to get a hold of, in fact if you’re getting frequent surges you might want to get one for your PC as well. Something like this would give you basic protection and is what I power my gear with, it should help you keep your lovely equipment safe. If you’re anal about noise reduction you could spend a bit more and get something [url=“https://www.amazon.co.uk/LINDY-TACHIMA-Surge-Protector-Filter/dp/B00MRR27MS/”]like this

How much would it cost to get them repaired? It might be something simple that’s fried and someone with good electrical skills could sort, but not really sure. Might be safer to just send 'em back or see it as a good excuse to buy new stuff

p.s. what did all this sound like before it asploded send us music yo

With enough tuning I can…well could play the trashiest eurobeat (gas gas gas from far away) or the heaviest metal song I could find. Unless I choke of course then I will just break my rooms walls
