Carmen Ghia schematic/layout?

Post by rfgordon »

My Googling is letting me down, and I'm not finding a schem for a Carmen Ghia. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here's the schematic and layout that was so graciously provided to me. Scuttlebutt has it that this amp's heritage lies with Hammond organ amps, but I don't know that to be true. I'm gonna use it to rebuild my Fender Musicmaster.

Dr Z contacted the Trinity Amps forum and required that they cease and desist even running a forum based on that amp. I suspect he would do the same here if/when he finds out the schematic has been posted. Some things are better left on the "down low".

Check the Hammond reverb amplifier: A-0-35. The market has already been raided since I bought mine for $35. What we need is to find a repairman with a barn full of old repair parts.

As if he learned his skils without first building other people's amp designs! We all gotta learn somewhere.

yep both the ghia and stangray tone controls are knockoffs of the mid control on the matchless chieftain which is derivative of the tone control on selmer zodiac 30. and so it goes. as you can see if you compare the rest of the ghia to the ao-35 it's bascially a direct copy. rh

If you have more Dr.Z schematics, I won't mind if you send them to me :) Any other nice schems, like Bad Cat or Budda, would be appreciated :)
