Members Coolie No.1 Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 I am talking about hand wired amps with those big caps and all. Do the electrical components and especially caps go bad if not used for a long time, say 6 months to 1 yr or even more? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PaoloJM Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 Caps can be re-formed. If you bring the amp to a tech for a once over when your ready to play again then you can store it for as long as you like as long as it's stored in a reasonable enviroment. The rule is "if you wouldn't sleep there then don't store your amp there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
