Need treble pot value
« on: January 15, 2024, 02:05:30 pm »
By any chance would anyone here have access to a Blackstar HT Stage 60 MKII schematic? All I need is the treble pot (in the overdrive  tone stack VR 10) ohm value so I can order one.  Thank you in advance for any help.

If it’s a standard Fender blackface amp type TB or TMB tone stack, then 250kA would be a safe guess.

Thanks guys, it is a TMB stack and I did see a 250kA online. Don`t know why Blackstar is so stingy with their schematics. :dontknow:

Well I`m glad I tore the amp apart before I ordered what thought was the correct pot. Evidence showed this treble pot took a  hard hit on the end of the shaft, so I removed the pot from the PCB and took it apart. While  apart I measured the carbon trace = 50k ohms. Further inspection showed the contacts and and wiper were bent not making contact. With a dental pick I bent the contacts and wiper up to make good connection, put back together works like new.  :icon_biggrin:  Rock On! :guitar1
