Internal Wiring

• 

Follow the color coded wiring diagram closely, twist the filament wires (6.3v heater wires) together from 

transformer and between tube sockets to reduce hum from 120ac voltage.

• 

Have enough of the power cord inside chassis to reach fuse, switch and ground

• 

Affix the floating fiberboard, noting it is held in place by the wires, attach backing with rubber cement if 

necessary  (or mount directly to chassis)

• 

Place entire fiberboard inside the chassis noting the orientation (see schematic)

• 

Connect corresponding wires to hardware, try to keep wire short and runs as neat as possible. This will 

help make future troubleshooting and repair easier.

• 

On Standby Switch, solder (1) 0.047uF @ 600V cap to left lug and ground.

• 

Solder (2) ½ W 100 Ohm resistors - solder from the pilot light to ground

• 

Solder (1) ½ W 1 Meg resistor from Input 1 to ground tied to Input 2. This grounds the input of the amp so 

that no hum or noise picked up by the amp when the guitar cable is unplugged.

• 

On the Bright Volume potentiometer, (looking from the back with the lugs pointing up), solder a 100pF cap 

from the center lug to the right lug.  Solder the left lug to ground.  The 100pF cap accomplishes a bypass to 

brighten the tone.  The higher the value of the cap, the brighter the sound.

• 

On the Presence potentiometer, solder a 0.1uF @ 600V to the center lug and to ground.  Solder left lug 

to ground.  The Presence is a power amp control that effects the amount of high end (or treble) frequency 

coming from the power amp section of the amp.

• 

On each power tube socket, solder (1) ½ W 1.5K ohm grid resistor from pin 5 to 6.

• 

Try to avoid crossing wires over each other.

• 

Before you plug the amp in check and re-check your wiring. 

If you are not clear on any part of the 

circuit, ask someone.
