5e3 bright channel problem

Post by telestrat »

I need some technical help regarding my tweed deluxe.
The Bright channel (both inputs) has stopped working, no audible sound at all. The normal channel is working fine.
Any Ideas?

Not much going on in that section so I suspect its the tube firstly, or the 68k resistor or input jack corroded?
