    TSL 100 resistor burnt

    I've been upgrading both of my TSL 100's this week. Got the '99 upgraded with some new caps and resistors in various places, and installed a ClassicTone 3h choke. Got it all back together, biased, and am really in love it, more than before. Was trying to finish up the '07 this morning...

    TSL 100 mods

    The problem appears to be something totally different. I took both heads to a band audition recently. Was playing the '07 first. Then I switched to the '99. Got about 10 minutes of playing again, it faded out, again! Wiggled V1 again and it was brought back to life again. A question for the...

    TSL 100 mods

    Since the band jam was cancelled today, I decided to to do some testing and troubleshooting. I took the metal guard off the back of both TSL's. I first checked the bias on the '99. It was pretty steady around 85mv. Then I checked the '07, it was on 60mv! WTF! Who would set a bias that low...

    TSL 100 mods

    I hope so RickyLee. If it is the tubes, it'll have to wait. Need some make some extra dough. But it gives me time to research. I want the amps to sound similar, but a little bit different. After the jam session, my buddy said he preferred the '99 over the '07. He said it had a little bit...

    TSL 100 mods

    WELL, I thought everything was fixed. I went to jam with an old high school drummer buddy today. We played in a band back in day, and I'm looking for a drummer now. I basically went to audition him. I took both, 1999 and 2007, of my TSL 100 heads. I set volumes for all channels on both...

    JCM 2000 TSL Footswitch cable mod

    I forgot about this thread, cause I hit a road block. After all the work was done, the footswitch did not work any differently than before, plus I had the wrong switch, as stated previously. I, instead, built my own 2 button footswitch from another thread on the forum, and it works flawless...

    TSL 100 mods

    I did not pinpoint exactly which mod or repair fixed the problem. I should have done one at a time. I just know it's working now.

    TSL 100 mods

    I've been looking on here for a couple of months, trying to figure out WTF was wrong with my amp. I got really discouraged. I had never soldered on a pcb before, and was a little nervous about trying. I got a really good deal on this amp and a 1960BV cab. $500. The cab is worth that, but...

    What mods would you make to a TSL 100?

    The anchor states site is gone. Did anyone save the page? Trying to get all the info I can and figure out what mods I want to do. Thank in advance.

    The TSL Mods thread

    Did anyone save the Anchor States page. The link doesn't work anymore. I know I'm late to the party, but someone has to be.

    TSL100 Bias drift ...another cure

    There is a high probability that I will get the new motherboard in the future. But I have 2 TSL heads, 2007 and 1999, and I just want to sharpen my soldering skills by changing these components out. On the 1999 model, of course.

    TSL100 Footswitch schematics (new member)

    I built a 2 button switch exactly like ShagNasty described. It works perfectly. Gonna add the LED's later. Here's the pic:

    JCM 2000 TSL Footswitch cable mod

    I still may go that way. But, I want to make sure it's not the connection in the head also. It won't matter which footswitch I have if the problem lurks inside. Here's where I'm at now. Here's the plug installed:

    JCM 2000 TSL Footswitch cable mod

    Thanks for chiming in. I did read about that in another thread. Seems like a really good idea, and something I may try in the future. Do you happen to have any pics of mod, on the amp side? I haven't even had the back off the amp yet. I just got one kid out on his own, which freed up...

    JCM 2000 TSL Footswitch cable mod

    My main problem is when I hit the lead switch, it will go to the crunch channel. I went ahead and soldered the cable straight to the PCB last night and,,,,, it was still doing the same thing. With a new end and cable. So last night I had the bright idea to take the lead switch off the board...

    JCM 2000 TSL Footswitch cable mod

    Here's the footswitch out of the chassis and all the wires unsoldered. May put some leads on that tonight. Will be using a 25w soldering iron.

    JCM 2000 TSL Footswitch cable mod

    Also, I think I'm gonna stop by Radio Shack and get some smaller wire strippers. I've had to use a knife so far, truly sucks. I may look into one of those stations to help hold stuff still, you know, the one with the magnifying glass! This stuff is small.

    JCM 2000 TSL Footswitch cable mod

    I made the hole bigger, to compensate for the female plug. Using this: In this vice: It fits! Then, drilled two pilot holes for the mounting screws: Then, went to install new plug, and BAM! Cordless screwdriver had a mind of its own. Screw wobbled and the screwdriver slipped off the...
