Ron or anybody. Looking for a schematic for a Peavey Backstage 50. Anybody
got one they can scan for me ?

Peavey makes their schematics available for all of their instruments and
amps. From their website


I thought so too Dave, but I have only been able to find a user manual for
download. It's not desperately important. Just one of my mate who runs the
shop's customers, who wants a jack putting on the back panel to take out
signal just ahead of the master vol. I just wanted to have a quick look at
exactly how it was configured around that bit of the circuit, just to see
what I was dealing with impedance wise etc.

A freebie download would be a great thing, but Peavey sells their schematics
for only $2.50 US... seems a pittance if it can save you an hour or two of
circuit tracing. I've bought several schematics from them.. they are very
friendly and ship immediately.
Their service folks are quite easy to talk to as well... if you don't mind
the phone charges, give them a call and they will prolly be glad to chat for
a few minutes.

Cheers!!!

and how good are their schematics? are we talking about reprints , copies that
you can hardly make out or what?

cause, it would be nice to know where I could do a clear print of a PDF at
an economical cost. I tried a couple of outfits and they take
you for a ride with schematics that are hardly readable and sometimes
incomplete, or they are not the service schematics but only the
single fold that you some times find in user books.




Peavey's schematics are full sized, high quality prints. Not copies, nor
reduced to the point of illegibility. They are usually on 11X17 (high quality)
paper, on multiple sheets if the circuitry is too complex to get onto a single
sheet. I have a couple schematics on 8.5X11 paper of some very simple
equipment. I have to say that I've only bought schematics for solid-state
equipment, which is significantly more complex than tubed equipment.
When I received the first schematic that I bought from them, I was amazed by the
quality. I don't hesitate to order from them if I even remotely think I'll need
a schematic. If you buy from Peavey, you will NOT be disappointed.
Yes, it would be nice to be able to download a PDF, but I think you'd be more
disappointed with that than with a paper print.

No, I'm not affiliated with Peavey.. . just a satisfied customer.
Cheers!!!
