Exactly, It took me about an hour to get the pcb out away from the chassis to change a part.I always had a hell of a time trying to get the solder to flow over the small traces which have some sort of laquer coating or something. Plus, I always tore one of those thin 22 guage wires wresting with the board. PCS are good for a company mass produing amps, but for someone trying to tune there amp ,forget it.Also, my bassman happens to sound better after the conversion. Stan
