Peavey VTX Classic guitar amp and the M 5884 audio chip.
Peavey VTX Classic guitar amp and the M 5884 audio chip. Does anyone have any information on the M 5884 audio output transistor used in the (vintage 1981) Peavey VTX Classic guitar amps? I cannot find any information on the M 5884 on the Internet. One site mentions a MJE15030 as a replacement, but when I tried one the audio was fuzzy even on the clean channel. The amp has two 6lggc final tubes. The output stopped and one of the tubes was glowing red. With the MJE15030 installed the tube stopped glowing red, but the audio is fuzzy. A datasheet for the original M 5884 transistor would be very helpful if anyone has one. Also a schemtic for the Peavey VTX Classic wouldl help. I posted a message on Peavey's forum as well. -Michael |

One site mentions a MJE15030 as a replacement, but when I tried one the audio was fuzzy even on the clean channel. I realise you've already been there, but this Peavey Cross-Reference guide lists an SJ-5884 which can be replaced by an MJE15030 or MJE15028: http://www.ampix.org/albums/userpics..._Cross_Ref.pdf Is it possible that the "M" refers to Motorola? The amp has two 6lggc final tubes. The output stopped and one of the tubes was glowing red. With the MJE15030 installed the tube stopped glowing red, but the audio is fuzzy. A datasheet for the original M 5884 transistor would be very helpful if anyone has one. Also a schemtic for the Peavey VTX Classic wouldl help.

By far your best bet is just to buy some from Peavey, they are not massively more expensive than anywhere else. It will save all those hours trawling the Internet and datasheets trying to save yourself ....what exactly? Trying to find and fix a fault by substituting something that may or may not work properly is not the best approach IMHO. Gareth. |
