Re: Vox SS Royal Guardsman Super Reverb schematics?? I'm something of a Thomas Vox nut.     You may want to read the Thomas Vox pages at GEOFEX (http://www.geofex.com) for some background.     I do have the schematics, but I'm not sure that is what you need.     The 113 and 1131 Royal Guardsman footswitches all connect to ground through the coil of a relay to do the internal switching. The switching contacts are on relays internal to the amp head. The 1131*6 is JFET switched internally. The relays run from +24V.     They *are* mechanically difficult. It's easy to snap an interconnect wire off the board if you're not careful.     A few words of advice. It is so difficult and time consuming to open these things up that if you ever do open one up     **>> CHANGE OUT ALL THE ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS WHILE YOU HAVE IT OPEN <<**     Just do it. It's a pain, but you'll then have an amp that's semi-reliable again. And you won't have to go back in next month.     Read the GEO Vox pages, then write me with any questions.     k-e-e-n-@-g-e-o-f-e-x-.-c-o-m but leave out all the dashes.
