Well.....
Got the old IC pulled off. But, the traces are toast.

Pretty sure it's more than 2 layer board, and thinking there may be copper under that may be damaged. The traces are toast... so, wondering if I can actually throw really thin wire in there and connect where needed.

To be continued!

Had my amp shit out at practice weeks before our first show. I think it’s just a pre amp tube but the timing is fucked since I can’t practice till I repair it.

If anyone on here knows about #FenderAmps, or #TubeAmps in general, some help diagnosing the problem would be very useful. The amp is a fender super champ v2. It is tube powered. Turns on, but volume is completely drained. Oddly no signs anything was failing. Went from normal to almost no volume at all between this week and last without any crackling like you normally get when the tubes fail.

Took the line out to another amp and got sound at a normal volume but maybe a bit more distorted than usual. I think but can’t confirm that the line out bipasses the preamp section, making it likely it’s just the pre tube, but I can’t find anything on message boards about this. Any help to get this thing up and running so we can get practicing would be awesome. #GuitarAmp #Amplifier #Electronics #ElectronicRepair
