The Amp Garage

Outstanding! That will make a world of difference!

Oh and also....the difference between the HRM and non HRM volume is pretty drastic. Is there a way I can level those out??

Hi there, Starting to figure out whats going on ....sort of. Can some post a nice pic of how the footswitch is supposed to be wired? When I plug in a cable to the footswitch, it goes right to the OD and I can't change anything via footswitch. The Middle was hard wired to the C26 cap and the grounded...

Thank you for taking a look. I will sort some of that out and report back. I appreciate your candor regarding the tech and unfortunately, I feel similarly... at least for this project. Some people are too concrete of thinkers,forgetting about the flexibility that is needed in situations like this an...

Ok, here are the pictures. Let me know if you need other angles or any questions answered.

Hey All, Just got it back from the tech: The good news is it works and it sounds very nice. The bad news is the the PAB and Mid Boost cannot be used by the footswitch, only by the toggles on the amp. Also, neither the bright cap nor the mid boost are different enough. This is bittersweet. I'm happy ...

Spoke to my amp tech today, gonna take it in again with the new instructions. I'll keep everyone posted. Thanks again for all the help, hopefully we'll call this a wrap after this next visit.

Can someone tell me how to drain the filter caps so I can safely work on these pieces?

I can solder and populated the board before handing it over to the tech. The wires plugged into the block are the same, but the rest looks way different. I will use your pics and write up as a guide and see what can be sussed out. I should be able to report back today sometime.

Also, the only wires in the terminal block are two yellow and two red. The yellow wires are in v4.5& v7.5 and also v5.5 &v6.5 but are not connected to their closest terminal. They are connected to the far ends of the opposite side, if that makes sense. the red wires are connected to their closest re...

It's definitely possible that some things got mixed up. As I may have mentioned, this is well beyond what I know electronically. When I got the board, I thought this was going to be a bit more "paint by numbers" esque and so I'm wildly confused on why the tech didn't just plug in the wires where the...

Sorry, I was not specific enough L and R speak to left and right tube and their placement. i.e R2 = Right tube, second pin. In hindsight, I realize how that would cause confusion. If there is a better to describe which tube and what pin, I'm very interested to learn!

Oh, and the tubes are EL34s. The tech said he tried 6L6s but they were biasing too hot.

Alright, I think I got them. Looking into the amplifier from the control panel inwards: Left Tube: 1 - Resistor in series with R8, L3, R7 to ground (chassis and center of screw down terminal) 2 - White wire - connected to R1 3 - Yellow wire - connected with R2 - Resistor in series with R7, L1, R8 to...

Thank you for the explanation! Definitely helps makes sense of all this. I added some more pictures to the folder, if they still don't help, I will look for any specifics you may have. With Lou's grounding directions, i got the relays running! It seems as though the amp is like 1/2 power though. Cou...
