Re: Really strange Master volume in my Classic 20 quote: "I believe that most amp techs do draw the line at not working on pcb amps (unless of course they are the factory repair station for that line in which case it might be worth their while to figure out these new tinker toy amps)."         Steve...true enough!! (ha, ha) I work on the JCM800's and the 70's Marshalls a lot and they both have PCB's bu they are a bit better than the Peavey's. It's mighty funny because there are A LOT of peavey's like the classic 50 around these here parts! (ha, ha) So it's probably good that I get my hands bloody (as they say)         quote: "it really takes a few hours to study them enough to be comfortable working on them. And for all you know that may be the last C50 you would ever need to work on."         I got a pretty good handle on this beast now but's it;s been a few hours! (ha, ha) It's not that it's complex, it's just silly to have to tear the entire amp apart to replace a pot (I should say to me it seems silly)         .         quote: "So I believe that the detailed and custom mods for tinker toy amps like the Peavey Classic series are best left to the DIY hobbyists who can spend many hours without having to bill a customer for the time."         You may be right there! I usually don't go crazy billing because it's the first time Iv'e worked on this model so I call it a learning experience and now I'm much more familer with how they work.         I must say someone who sees the name "Peavey" will be stunned by the tone that comes out!! (ha, ha) It sure doesn't sound like a Peavey now.             Trace
