Tracy	Re: BFDR Parasitic Oscillation Matt The parascitic oscillation problem of silverface Deluxe Reverb amps as noted by, " Gerald weber of Kendrick amps" Was supposedly caused by lead dress wire routing. After moving those wires around in my amp without results, I tried shielded wire on the input and volume control leads and the problem was fixed. Shielded wire at these points has become standard on my home brew amps. If you try this only ground the shield at the face of the amp, and tape or shrink wrap the other end. If the shield touches ground at both ends you could create a ground loop and cause more noise. Tracy
