Hi all…sorry I am not a steeler, but I am a fiddler and this is my go to forum for Peavey info!!
I just picked up a peavey encore, a 65 watt all tube 2x 6l6 amp (ss recto)and think it has a problem on the normal "channel" I'm hoping some peavy fan out there might have one , and let me know if it's 'broke ' or if it's just the way they are!!
It’s a single channel , but with 2 gain structures ,normal and “pump”
So, when “pump” is switched on it all works as expected , all 3 pots in the gain block work ( except the pull smooth switch doesn’t alter the sound)
When the “pump” is off (footswitch) the imput gain alters the signal, The pump pot is inopperative(as I would expect) ,but post gain pot doesn’t alter the sound ,it seems to be full on ; and pull smooth doesn’t alter the sound .
After some vigorous knob twiddling I buggered the carbon track in the post gain / pull smooth pot . I was hoping the problem may have been the pot but after replacing it the amp is just the same . On the plus side it was a good excuse to do the caps.. at least it's quiet now!!
any help would be greatly appreciated ,Thanks Brett |
