Yup, did the single valve re-seat, but many of the solder joints are hidden, so unless i dismantle the amp, there's no way i can get to them. I did press the IC's I'll leave it alone now, as i seem to have sorted it, but i dont know how

After poking and pushing, static/crackle seems to have disappeared, and that's before i put a short cable in the master FX send / receive channel, so i guess i dont need that FX send sockets cable anymore ? I guess time will tell

No swollen caps, no burnt smell, connectors that i could reach without dismantling PCB boards reseated

Looking at the hundreds of solder joints, and their location, i may have trouble in that respect

Thanks ! I'll have a go at all that - the amp is Genz Shuttlemax 9.2

Just to say, the amp plays fine otherwise. No loss of volume or EQ , and the crackle/static doesnt get louder with amp volume

I've checked the suspect bits - speakon cables, guitar cables, and swapped amps, and its definately the amp. It has dual speakon outs and the crackle/static is apparent on both outputs. It's also a dual channel, ( Tube + Fet ) and swapping channels makes no difference. What is the next procedure for a home detective before it goes to a pro ?

I've had dealings for gear with Brian and the man is a scholar

Nursery Crime for me is the killer discette

Another cracking bass, Rob.

Hmm... McCready zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I could get away 10mm of bush thread, but i forgot to mention, i'm after full size pots. Strangely, i have a pair of Solid shaft 10mm thread, 6.35 shaft, CTS 250k Lin pots here, and i need another pair, but JHC, i cant find them anywhere. I'd really like matching brand, but no luck, hence looking for non matching pair

I'm struggling to find some 250k Lin pots with a decent thread length on the bush, and also solid shaft. 15mm - ish threaded bush length is what i need. I checked for the quality names , CTS, Bourns.. but nothing pops up. Either they're split shaft, or short threaded bush, or both. Tried all the usual suspects - Axes R Us, CPC Farnell, RS Online, Mouser Elecs , guitar shops blah blah. Even Thomann .. Can anyone point me to a source ? Ta

Dont forget to buy a portable winch. TE 2x15 1524 = 103 Lbs - ish

Get one of the Shuttlemax dual channels. Awesome

...and again. An amp this time. Great packing as before.

I doubt you would hear much difference between 500 and 800

That looks like it'll need sanding and respraying. Something like Meguiars scratch remover is the ultimate stuff, but those scratches look too far gone

I swapped out a Wilkinson MM pickup for a Warman MM and it was superb. I know its not specifically a P but if it's the quality of Warman pickups you're insterested in, have no fear

Stop looking at my waffle

Yeah i guess i can throw the surplus parts in a draw. I'm surprised i can't buy a pair of those in a kit. The install accessories would then be tailored for 2 pickups.
