The Power cable of my guitar amp (roland cube 20x) was under my computer chair leg and when i sat down the fuse triped in the power box then when i checked under me the cable was almost cut across.. How can i fix this or where would i get it fixed?
Just splice the cable - no need to open the amp. Cut the damaged cable just above where it is damaged. Cut and strip the 3 wires. Cut off the damaged section. Cut and strip the wires that are connected to the power plug. Re-connect the two sections using in-line splices and electrical tape (you can buy these at any hardware store). Match up the wire colors. Splices look like this: mahathon .th/products_detail.ht... If you do a good job, that should last a long time.
It would work But it is a good idea to have separate cables using each one for a specific job. Buy a cable for each job. Label it near the plug for the amp. That way you are always using exactly the same set up every time. When things go wrong and they will, you wil know which cable and which amp or guitar is having the problem. I have been on stage when it took 10 minutes to find that the wrong instrument had accidentally been plugged into the wrong amp or pedal.
Hahaha, that is THE most basic DIY ever. Ok go to you local hardware store and get maybe 4 foot of similar wiring, look around for what you want, get home, open up the back of your roland, find where the chord was wired, should be either soldered or clamped, undo these and attach the new wiring, if your cheap you could just take the plug head of the original cable and attach it to where the cable broke, and you'll just have a shortened power cable.
