Default Re: Unknown Guitar Amp

Alan, This is just the info I'm needing. Shall follow up the GEC connection. I'd thought that the builder may have obtained a circuit diagram of a Fender or similar professional amp & had endeavoured to build a cheaper copy.
Obviously I could trace through all the wiring & eventually draw up a circuit diagram. Just wish the chap had stuck to one method of component mounting instead of a miss-match of vero board, tag boards & blocks. And had adopted a less random colouring & sizing of wires. The main chassis work is fine & the plywood cabinet is very well constructed joinery-wise.
After a careful brush & a good hoover, the amp has been moved from my woodworking shed to my wee electronic workshop, which is relatively dust free, for in-depth testing. The speaker cabinets just need re-varnishing, and I'll rub down & re-spray the amp cabinet.

Regards, David
