Fender vibro champ XD, PR736 of 2010 PbF
Crackle just like cathode/heater leakage in one of the valves, but
active test as perfectly good isolation . This crackle was present on first receipt testing but now with close-handling not the slightest trace - typical symptom of PbFitis , also can be similar "bacon and eggs" crackle . Any known problem area? hopefully not with the DSP chippery. ( just dealing with a Hartke HA3500 with pbfitis , but as 2006 a bit more excusable) |

Cut the cable ties to get the pcbs out. Then noticed one of the ac HT
wires loose. It looks as though the blade may have been between shoe of crimp and the plastic cover, needed much more than finger pressure to slide the crimp over the terminal. Power fading up and down i could see that causing, will try simulating to see if a possible source of crackle when I power up with boards out of chassis. The pots are "digital" fashion. I was hoping the amp could be used without the DSP board connected as owner only ever uses clean, will check for that as well. Then try hot air and attack boards with nylon tipped engraver tool (headphone monitoring), to see if that divines any failed pbf joints, nothing suspect seen visually, plus ca change. Then a matter of resoldering the usual suspects and keep fingers crossed. |
