Hello niche community!
I need help. My kustom III Lead head stopped turning on after the power switch was put in the downward position. I am a noob don’t judge me. I tried checking other outlets because it might be a voltage issue but I’m not sure if that’s the case. The speaker it is connected to looks handmade it was a gift from a friend so that could also be an issue. Everything was working fine and normal before the switch was switched down, sounded great, knobs worked, everything was tight, it just suddenly would not turn on anymore.

Please if anyone has any advice on what to do or how to troubleshoot or where to go I would be eternally grateful. Thank you so much on behalf of all drummers. You guys make the world go around.

Sounds like a simple case of the switch failing.

I would take the amp to a repair tech.

This does not have to be a music store that does repairs, it could be a Hi Fi stereo repair shop.
