HI Robert
Can you tell me the model and serial number so I can find the right schematic.
Regards
Paul

[Mike Tremante]

I would say you're safe because the impedence is higher at the attenuator so
the OT won't be overworked. The sound may and power may suffer a little
because of the mismatch though. BTW, Gerald Weber said in one of his books
that a Fender OT can take a 100% mismatch.

It’s impossible to say from the little info you provided.  But you can eliminate from the driver on if the reverb/vibrato channel works.  Could be a fried resister or cap, or it could be a cold solder joint.  Could be your first 12ax7 or the socket is bad or even just dirty.  Try wiggling the first preamp tube around a little.   If that doesn’t work then replace it.  Beyond that you’re at own risk….OK, take the chassis out and visually inspect it for anything obvious.  Then either start back from the driver or trace the signal from the input to see where it stops.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t take the chassis out and go poking around in there with the filter caps charged or the amp plugged in.

Hi Mike Thanks for your reply. I think I will put the Dr.Z back in my
Deluxe, and soon order a TUBEJUICE MAX50 STEREO. for the super. They
make one for 2 ohms. I have to look for reviews. Im unsure about
Webber because of the tone controls. I had a THD Hotplate and didn't
like it because of that. I play blues and rarely go past the first or
second notch on the Z and the tone seems to stay the same. The Super
sounds great to me with the volume turned up between 3 and 5.
Shouldn't need too much attenuation to get what I want. Im a cabinet
make and am building a new cab for the Super and I will store the beat
original. Thanks again , Bob

Bob,

Good luck!

What is the model of the amp?

[Jim King]

Thanks Mike.   used a cyber-champ to play a 4 hr gig with our 6 pc band, sold a few CD's and collected our money, but I sure missed our twin, but it was a smaller room. Sure sounds like you really know your amps.  I would be honored if you would go to our website and check us out; www.JimKingBand.com

 

Thanks again and God bless.

 

Jim

Jim.

 

Chances are the problem with your twin isn’t a big deal.  Take it to a good tech and it shouldn’t cost you more than an hour bench time and maybe a small part or two.  If they try to sell you more than that, pick up your amp and run!  I know enough after 20 years to keep my own stable of 8 or 10 amps running and do a little work for friends.  My goto guy learned his stuff in the Navy…can’t beat that.   Impressive web site, Jim.  Lots of gigs!  I couldn’t get the sound links to work though..would love to hear you play!

 

Mike

[Jim King]

Thanks so much !!!I will take to shop monday,sorry the sound links didnt work,will check it out also,this must be my week for amp/computer problems.

Jim
I have a suggestion, first I have attached an schematic of a 65 twin reverb.  One failure I have had experience with is the plate resistors opening.  eg no resistance.   If you turn on the camp cold with the standby switch in the on position all the plate resistors get a temporary over voltage until the tubes warm up.  Check the plate resistors, usually 100K Brown,Black,Yellow..
Good Luck
