Re: Switchcraft type 226 plug mystery

Thanks for the responses, I agree that a shorted plug would be the logical answer but it tests good. I've made and repaired a lot of cables. I am using ProCo Excellines 20 AWG 26 strand guitar cable. I have used the Switchcraft straight plugs for years without a problem. I tested the faulty cables w...

Switchcraft type 226 plug mystery

I recently ordered 30 Switchcraft type 226 right-angle plugs to complete a pedel board and to "upgrade" some guitar cords. The pedal board cables were constructed, tested (for continuity with a DMM and with a signal generator), and assembled into the board. When finished, the board did not pass a si...

Re: Attack Site Warning?

Favorites link? what is that? I get the warning with FF, Chrome, iPad, iPhone and every computer I try. I finally took a chance, hoping NOD32 will protect me and so far so good. There must be a lot of people out there still waiting for the "all clear"

Ampgarage, big text

Today when I logged into The Amp Garage, that pages all have big type. No other website pages or programs are doing. I could not find an settings in "Profile" that would allow me to resize the font size. How do I return the AG pages to their original size?
Thanks

Re: Hammond Transformers--Old vs New

A small elephant maybe, the big ones just get really pissed off, same thing happens when you try electrolytics, at least, that's my experience.

Re: Benson 300

With further checking, it seems that that motor boating sound only comes on when the reverb intensity is turned up, with the intensity set to zero, there is no motor boating, so maybe it is indeed an oscillation. Switching the reverb and tremolo on and off with the foot switch has no affect on the m...

Re: Benson 300

That's correct, the lamp and photo cell are in the tremolo circuit, I'm thinking now that the tremolo was working when i received the amp. It was weak, but it worked, now that's out of the cabinet, it just make the popping, motor boat sound. Maybe the photocell is overloaded with ambient light while...

Benson 300

The Benson 300 I'm working on is #32, it has reverb and tremolo but no distortion circuit. As reported to me by the owner, last year Ron Benson replaced the A/C cord with a modern 3 wire version and replaced the volume control input jack #2 with a bight switch but it does not seem to do much at all ...

Ahhh...... Did someone say "you can't live with'um and you can't live with'um?". I've found it's a lot easier when you learn to duck.
