Re: Amp Troubles

Make sure you clean the socket of carbon before using it, or it will keep on happening and get worse. Not a good idea to mess w/ hv unless something is indeed wrong, shit always happens. If u blew the bal resistors either the socket and/or the tube took a hit also.

Re: Boogie MKIIB ....... hmmm

I worked on many of these, and modded some to have the pre and post efx loop circuitry like a Mk III. They still had the single overdrive stage, which worked well.

Re: Almost had a really bad night

Re: ground bus question

The bus wire connects the pot ground terminals only, and is star grounded to a terminal near the in jack area on one end. Not a great idea to solder it to the pot covers, they ground to the chassis, which may have many ground currents flowing thru it.
