deluxe reverb II volume/channel switching pot
« on: July 30, 2024, 07:25:48 pm »
I can't figure out how the volume/channel switching pot works from looking at the schematic or wiring diagram.  I'm trying to build a deluxe reverb II clone.  What current manufactured pot could be used for the volume/channel switching pot?  Thanks

Is it this one ?  1 meg with SPDT switch.

Could you tell us why you chose to build this particular amp model ?

It's not an easy one, and you don't seem to have much experience.

I chose to build this amp because it has reverb, two channels, and is similar in sound to my champ II which I love.  I've built about 10 vintage amps (champ, princeton, bassman, mojotone studio one, some of the rob robinette micro amps, etc.) without any problems.  The deluxe reverb II has some components I haven't come across before.

You can use a the DPDT switch

The problem with it is it has a 7mm bushing  so it would work fine if you haven't drilled a hole yet,  if the mounting hole is already drilled and is for a 3/8 bushing then you will have to get creative.

You are talking about the 1 meg volume with DPDT.
With more search can we found a 3/8 size ?

If you'all are talking about the channel switch  I believe it is this.

No that won't work for the channel switching. That is a SPST   what he needs for the channel switch is a 1M pot with either a SPDT switch or a DPDT switch we talked about above.
Latole you posted the CED/AES page above that has the correct pot w/switch and I mentioned it has a 7mm bushing   its the right part if it can be mounted on the chassis.
