adding a Power Amp IN?
« on: April 01, 2015, 04:51:37 pm »
So, the idea here is to plug straight into the Power Amp IN and access only the Power Section.     

My ideal situation is this:     I want to be able to use my Bassman power section coming from the preamp (preamp out) of another bass amp.

I've search for a schematic......but none to be found.....any ideas?


THanks!

Install a jack just prior to the PI input cap. Look at this to see what I'm talking about...

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Ah!    Yes, that's exactly what I did.    So, I guess I have it wired wrong.    I'll have to re-check my wiring.    But, good to know my idea is exactly same as yours.     Thanks!!!
