What the hell is this spammer? That line is my quote from earlier post... crazy...

If had to unplug anything during disassembly, check those. Check everything you touched. But it's likely a bad joint. Are these thru plated or double sided boards?

So we didn't order any, but I would love to hear how they work for you, they may be just what you need for a low volume, bedroom tube amp.

So Verne, now that you've documented everything on a schematic I think the mods should get their own name. When I tell people of these mods I'm calling them the "Verne Andru mods" - unless you prefer something else.

Shouldn't the electronics be shielded? You ask what I want to accomlish. I just assumed electronics should be enclosed in metal, like the Marshall example I gave or a guitar cavity. If it's not needed, I won't do it.

Verne Andru! You're apologizing to me about raunching out on me. Why? I said the graphics are beautiful also. It was you getting into your playing I was referring to, and you were using distorted tones. After the almost electronic treatise you've been posting here, it was surprising to hear you get a little nasty. I'm definitely going to try your stereo wall volume regulator suggestion. You just mentioned the Peavey power soak,...

great stuff dude, thanks for posting this! i have the palomino v8 myself stock. good job! the clean tone of your modded v8 was very tasteful. wish my v8 can do that

anyone know if the op amp in the v16 is the same as the v8?
