Probably needs the pots cleaned and connections checked. It's kind of hard to tear up an old peavey. i won't say their bullet proof, but close to it. you might check the plug-in and see if it's properly grounded to the outlet. does it have a reverse polarity switch? probably not. It sounds to me like itls in the connections and ground. also you could have a torn speaker cone. Interesting that before Richie Blackmore started playing with Deep Purple, he couldn't afford a "Good amp" with effects, so he took a razor blade and cut slices in the speaker so he could get that "fuzz" tone. Evidently it worked for him. I cleaned a bunch of the connections and can get a relatively clean sound in solo, but as soon as I hit a chord, it really roughs up. Any help would be apprecialted.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Turn down the gain? I'm sure you also tried the low side imput . It's possible that your pickup[s] are too high/close to the strings as well, and getting a harsh or too tight of an electrical field. (just a thought) Well, not looking at the amp I can't say much. but... Plug it in, and flip the polarity switch, and see if the hum is reduced. If not, then scratch that idea. your pickups shouldn't have anything to do with what you're describing, Scott. the pots (volume, tone, effects etc.) should be accessable and there would or I'll say " should" be like a pin hole or some say a vent hole on them, and usually a slight squirt of siliconized electric contact cleaner in them should take care of cleaning and lubricating them. Outside of any of that, I'[m pretty well clueles. you might check the guys at alt.guitar, alt.guitar.amps or even alt.audio.pro I'm sure there's those a lot better than I that could help.

Doubtful that a guitar amp speaker would have foam suspension, particularly one from the 80's. Even new ones are hard to the rim. But, that doesn't mean the paper hasn't been torn or otherwise deteriorated from it's mounting. Eisboch |

He says that if he plays single notes lightly, it's fine, but when he plays loud chords, it sounds awful. The voice coil probably has a burn in a spot that is beyond the amount of movement caused by a light single note, but gets reached when you play louder and the coil excursion increases. Then again, if the amp is from the 1980's the speakers are deteriorated regardless of whether they buzz or not. Sounds reasonable. how do I identify the voice coil on the board, can I test without a schematic? |

He says that if he plays single notes lightly, it's fine, but when he plays loud chords, it sounds awful. The voice coil probably has a burn in a spot that is beyond the amount of movement caused by a light single note, but gets reached when you play louder and the coil excursion increases. Then again, if the amp is from the 1980's the speakers are deteriorated regardless of whether they buzz or not. Sounds reasonable. how do I identify the voice coil on the board, can I test without a schematic? Voice coil is part of the speaker. It's the cylinder at the narrow end. If you have access to somebody else's speaker cabinet, you could plug your amp into their speaker and confirm you have a bad speaker.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Cleaned up the parts and connections I could and started playing with it. Seems to be getting better, I am thinking more about it being speaker related. But with more and more play, it seems to be getting somewhat better, could old speakers just be stuck and slowly work themselves in again?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I suppose anythings possible..... but have you seen it before? Or anything like it?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Not really. but paper cones can get brittle. I suppose that a bit of playing can soften up the adhesives a bit, but not really sure. Or maybe you're getting used to it........ Isn't some distortion on loudly played guitars a good thing? :-)- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Oh yeah... But sometimes a clean tone (with a tad of reverb) is kind of neat too.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Especially with this: http://www.elevation-music.com/pap8eacelguw.html And for ONLY $1399.00!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yeah, but I'll tell ya, I actually got to touch and play one, and it IS sweet. Guy that owned it took it away from me after about five minutes, I think I may have been starting to drool..... Well, especially if you were playing with the guitar on your lap, I'm wondering if you were going to drool on it? or get orgasmic? eeeeeech! My son owns an electric Parker Fly Classic Guitar (http://www.elevation-music.com/paflyclelguw.html). He purchased it because with a flip of a switch it had the sound of an acoustic guitar.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - How's it play and sound? It sounds good and he enjoys it. He also owns a Les Paul and a Double Fat Strat, the Strat and Parker Fly were his favorites. I don't play so I have no idea how it plays. I'll bet Loogy is your son. Am I right? Nah, my son is backpacking his way through SE Asia, India and North Africa. He is either in Cambodia or India right now. He starts his PhD program in the fall, going to a first rate school, rated number 1 in his field of study. Just so you know, it is not the University of Kansas, which if your field of study is wheat, is probably a nice 3rd tier school. Did I mention that he has a complete scholarship and including a very generous stipend? |

Tell us about your boat DK. I thought you were going away? Leave. No one here will miss you. I noticed over on Chuck's board that one of the first posts you made you made certain to include that your son is in the Marines! Still using your son to boost your ego.....what a shame. |

It also has been played by Chet Atkins and has his autograph - a real autograph. :) Fender serial numbers are not always very accurate for establishing the date of manufacture. The reason is that they basically had a big box of pre-made and stamped neckplates next to the assembly line, and just grabbed them as needed. If one fell on the floor and was found a year or 5 later, it was simply thrown back into the box. If you want the real date, remove the neck, and it will be either stamped there in ink, or on older guitars, written in pencil. The pickups on older Fenders also often have penciled dates on them. |
