That is an interesting failure. If you have the schematic, I'll bet it shows the reverb in series after the preamp' that's probably why the signal was cutting out completely. Some amps have the reverb in parallel.
It looks to be in parallel but after the preamp stage. It has a footswitch but doesn't need it for reverb like most Fender's. The switch just grounds the signal so it would have to be in parallel. I am not well versed in solid state amps however. I am learning though.
They really did build those old JC's well. Good clean workhorse amps.
Very interesting look at a cool old amp. Thanks for sharing.
This is my wakeup call: everyone is saying this is an OLD amp...I see something new!
Right. Old to me is 50's.
I had one of those, and it eventually developed a similar problem. That one is in nearly new condition!
Those are weak connectors and would need significant surgery to replace. One good face flop could cause that to disconnect.
