    NBD Squier II P Bass

    I am pretty thrilled on my own NBD, but it is driving me crazy trying to find out more info on it! I have already disassembled, cleaned, shielded, rewired, and set the thing up...and I still have less time at the bench than at the computer :| Mine is in amazing shaped, every last screw is...

    Help. What's wrong with my vintage DOD?

    Bummer! I was really hoping to bring you some joy there. Goes to prove this is one of those "Always On" pedals haha. Sounds to me like the 2n5088 is at the end of it's lifespan. There is the possibility that it is the mc14007, but seems like the 5088 could be shorted. You could use deductive...

    Help. What's wrong with my vintage DOD?

    Glad you still have the pedal and you haven't binned the thing yet. I had my doubts since the thread was a few years old haha. Looking forward to your report!

    Help. What's wrong with my vintage DOD?

    Stumbled across this old thread, and I almost hate to dig it back up...but I have seen this problem often while restoring old DOD's. If your LED is always on, but the effect itself turns on and off...IT'S NOT THE SWITCH! The tact switch is merely a trigger for the buffered switching circuit. If...

    Peavey 1810 / 1820 and the formation of my restoration frustration

    Cue Alice in Chains "Love, hate, love". Stupid box. Stupid nostalgia. For the last 3 years I have been battling TWO of these darn cabs in hopes to have at least one of them be gigable. Silly notion. On this day, I finally have one that is stained and finished, rewired, and laced with all new...

    Digging up a zombie thread again...because it deserves it! As little information as there is in general, this thread is basicly the bible on this unsung hero. This amp is stellar. It first gained my interest when I saw a broken one for sale on Craig's List for $60. It caught my for it's bi-amp...

    Fixing a bad trade...Acoustic '72 150b head and Peavey 1820 cab

    Been a while since I have chimed back in, but I have been deep into the pedal world again. Deep enough to know that this amp is NOT for me. I have read that these don't take pedals well, but now I have verified that with my own tastes. Great amp? Yes. Lord yes. It has plenty of power and and a...

    Fixing a bad trade...Acoustic '72 150b head and Peavey 1820 cab

    I must say, I have a bad habit of "ruining" vintage things and making them my own. Paul, I definitely overshot the advice of "properly restoring" the amp before I read your comment :/ From what I had read, this wasn't much of a rare amp, and had a relatively low resale value. Since it wasn't...

    Fixing a bad trade...Acoustic '72 150b head and Peavey 1820 cab

    Howdy! I have a read a lot of great threads here over the years, and finally decided to join. I have been out of the bass game for a while and mostly playing guitar, but have been fiending to get back into the low frequencies this last year. I saw this amp and cab on craigslist, and with more...
