Cap can question:
calls for 40 40 20
Cant find one but can find 40 40 20 20

Trouble shooting the non functioning trem now Plate voltage to v3 pin 6 on and off with push pull/foot switch for trem and I can hear a faint ticking that comes and goes as youd expect with those manouvres. The ticking responds to speed and depth controls but no audile tremolo in guitar signal. Cou...

Im thinking ill change out the old cap can ( if I can find one) the grey 50 and 25v electrolytics and the large 450v 16mf electrolytic.

I think the current economic situation is forcing a fair bit of rad old gear up past the lower eosophageal sphincter …

Kinda cool little piece of kiwi amp history. Ive had a couple of jansen heads before and theyv'e never stuck. Kinda gave up on the idea of Jansen as a usable amp. Then i tried bruces and Jeans (clone). Since then ive kept an eye out for a nice low watt combo. This is a 2x el84 driven 1x12 combo. It...
