JCS	Re: Silverface Vibrolux Opinions Hey Guys, Got the SFV on tuesday, UPS broke the power tubes and reverb pan. The dealer's replacing the tubes and I repaired the pan. Well I just got done blackfacing and recaping it. I also cleaned up some of the lead dress as I went, It was a mess. (mid seventies non pull boost) Pluged it in and it sounds good, at low volume, can't crank it at 10.30 pm with the kids asleep. A few questions the reverb and trem footswitch jacks are 1/4", is this stock for later silverfaces ? Also, whats up with shared bypass caps, only one on the reverb circuits ? Should I rewire this to blackface standards or not? One more thinks anyone know where I can get a blackface vibrolux layout/ schematic. Its not in Webers book or the Fender amp field guide. Thanks everybody, all you help is appricated, JCS
