exactly, from what I know.. none of the parts in the empeg are extremely fancy, or proprietary.. all are "off the shelf" type parts, and just about anything wrong could possibly be repaired with enough effort put into it.

I worry more about my $1000 home stereo reciver being repairable than my $1400 empeg.
