Fender PA100 rebuild

Post by Aaron »

Just picked up an old mid 70’s PA100, the amp has four channels with reverb. Same transformers as a Twin Reverb.
So the plan is to make each channel a different tonestack and have the Overdrive tonestack on the front as well. That way I can demo the amp to customers and they can hear each style rather than all seperate amps. I’m thinking:-
Classic tonesack
Skyliner
Bluesmaster or Highplate Skyliner
OD channel will switch between tonestack and tone control

and Reverb!

I would sure love to see a schematic of what you're doing if you draw one up and you're willing to share it.

With respect, 10thtx

I think quite a lot of popcorn will be necessary for this thread.
