Got a G80R CD combo for basically free today. And it doesn't work. So it does power on. But basically nothing else works. None of the channel leds light up. A schematic would be extremely helpful.
I’m using my multimeter on the capacitance setting. And no it doesn’t hum with the tank disconnected. And the old tank simply doesn’t work so I can’t compare them.
As a matter of fact I think it is important looking at the schematic because they are c51 (which goes from the ( foot pedal to reverb on/off transistor) to ground or 0 v) and the other is c59 which
Here you go. You can see the out is grounded to the chassis and the in is insulated from the chassis the same as the new mod version. also out of curiosity I started probing the capacitance of several of the capacitors. I found that I can’t read the capacitance of any of the pink ones thought...
The parts I’ve highlighted in these pictures appear to be pink resistors with 4 color bands. They should be 10n caps according to the drawing. I feel like that may have an impact on the circuit lol
amp works good when the reverb is on 0. There’s a little little solid state hum when the master is cranked but nothing like what’s going on with the reverb.
i got a direct replacement to the one I pulled out. 8DB2C1D
I don’t believe the wire is causing the hum. Although I most definitely could be wrong about that. But I don’t believe so.
So would that blue line be like a silence loop that grounds any signal when the input isn’t plugged in? That could explain how there’s no noise when there isn’t a jack plugged in. But as soon as it is it breaks that silence circuit and the hum comes through...
