What's missing and what's new?

Post by Stevem »

Over the weekend a guy drops of his son's Bandmaster that he picked up at a pawn shop in the College town he attends.

He says the roach is flashing and the tubes are all good and so is his foot switch but no Tremolo funtion happens, so I open it up and after 4 minutes realized there's a wire missing and 2 extra resistors in there!

I gues that Tremolo foot switch rca was modded to be a line out off of the speaker jack?

Sorry, photo order is reversed!

At first I thought he was using the tremolo circuit as a gain boost but now I think he is slowing the tremolo down?

Yes, there is a added cap to do that, but that must of been done before the Trem was intentionally disabled.
