Yes? This amp has only one channel, the TB channel, both reverb and tremolo, and a MV. I cannot find a schematic. :cry:

Hi Rooster,

Did you ever come up with a schematic? I have a Bruno TB18 that someone needs repaired and I can't find a schematic anywhere on the internet.

They must have some kind of secret proprietary sauce that VOX doesn't want everybody to know about.

Well, I never did find a schematic, but I just made a wild guess that the blown cathode bypass cap might be a 25uF/25V and the amp seems to sound fine with that value. Don't know if that is really the cap Tony would want in there, but if they won't release schematics, then I'll just go with my best guess. The original cap was pretty obliterated.

The amp's owner seems to be happy with the repair so far.

Hey, sorry I missed this, boots. No, I never did find a schematic. Funny, too, because there has to be one - or at least someone has reverse engineered one by now? Oh, well, glad your repair worked out. :)
