The Amp Garage

The amp I am working from is a chassis only of a Faun-era amp that was found in non-working condition in the back of an electronics junk shop. I would not be surprised if it has been monkeyed with. Thanks to everyone who has contributed and especially Torg.

R22 is 130R on my amp.

Here is the picture of the .047 uf cap 42 on my amp. It is exactly like caps 32a and 32b. This cap type doesn't appear in Jim Elyea's Vox book so maybe it is a replacement.

Steve, Cap 21 on my amp is 100 nf.

Here are some photos of how the brilliance switch and channel II volume are wired on the amp I have access to. Also a very crude drawing showing the wiring of the switch.

Merci Leo! I have a bunch of them. They are pretty gunked up with what is hopefully just solder flux but they all seem to test out to spec with my DMM. I guess they'll look magnifique in some PTP fuzz pedal builds.

These are pulls from an old Bogen PA. Any idea what they are?

+1 on the Dan. Just found out they're coming to PDX today. The lead dress on that amp looks great!

Thanks Jelle, I'll replace that clip with a plastic one!

I'm getting started on an Express with the Heyboer PT, which as we know requires two holes for the leads as opposed to the one hole used in the original. My question is, am I asking for trouble placing the heaters in a straight line directly from the PT lead hole closest to the center of the amp to ...

I have an old Black Widow 15" that I really like. I never had an actual black widow spider come out of it though.....
