Alright listen guys, I'm out of place here. I know absolutely NOTHING about amps nor do I understand any of it. I have a brief knowledge of how electrical currents work but merely anything to compensate for what happened.
I can't even tell you the AMP brand. It's not in my possession and I don't have a memory of what it was called. It was a 300 watt.
So apparently, the guy he had previously bought it from had broken the gain switch. In order to turn the gain knob, you must take a flat head screw driver and turn the head of the screw. My friend wanted to mess around with it. I personally took a flat head screw driver and attempted to turn it.
I misunderstood the placement of the screw driver and I ended up pushing the screw backwards, thus turning the speaker off. The amplifier remained on and we replaced the fuse on the side of the amp. But, I do not think the fuse had been busted. And even if it was, if I placed another in there wouldn't it just bust as well? Regardless, the screw is now permanently pressed back and my friend left pissed as hell.
So now, I'm going to have to figure this out. Luckily enough, my neighbor's son is an electrician so maybe he'll help out. He's going to drop the amp off tomorrow for me to fix it because I told him I would or buy him a new one. Regardless, do you think this is an easy fix?
