Executive Summary: Tear out all the crappy stuff and put it the good stuff.



Sorry, couldn't help being a cheeky monkey. Thanks, Roberto, this is a great document to have around.

Almost sounds like the amp was a poorly designed piece of junk

Jack it up and drive a new one in under it.

There is a lot of info out there on the BMAC30 such as schematics and parts used so one can build it. I don't think I want to go back to a one knob amp yet especially in a 212 combo the faceplate would have just too much field with only one knob :lol:
