WE HAVE REPLACED THE FILTER CAPS � ALL 9 OF THEM. It�s not the filter caps. On the main channel (reverb/trem) my 410-130 will sound great for about 20 seconds then the tone goes totally bassy. If I hit the strings really hard it snaps back to its regular brighter tone but it will only last for a few seconds. The other channel works fine all of the time. |

The fact that one channel works all the time means that it OBVIOUSLY has to be in that channels preamp. I think it probably has a cap gone bad in the preamp. personally, since those amps are a pain in the a$$ to get the boards loose and get underneath them, look at the schematic and just get every cap that's in there and replace them. It's probably got those yellow caps that were pretty cheap back then. I know, it's a shotgun approach but it WILL isolate the problem faster than taking each cap out or the circuit and checking for dc. I don't have the schem in front of me but little caps like that are cheap and it may go faster than one at a time diagnosis. There can't BE more than 6 or 7 in the one preamp chain. |
