Help?

Post by bluesy »

I don't post much because I don't know much about this amp thing. Been following this site for years and now, at 61, want to get a handle on some things. My Bassman LTD has been re-worked after a smoking problem. The guy that did the work is no longer around and I'm miles from any real help. It looks like he followed the Hoffman design(?). I'd like to know what the components are. Found the bias range resistor. Which ones are the coupling caps? Is there a drawing that calls out the names of the various components? I'd like to label this: http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/tyler ... e.gif.html as it applies to my amp. There's also a pic of the actual amp. Any help would be appreciated. I'm wanting to try a 5e3 build in the near future; and although the various kits out there show where parts go, I don't see names for them. Just values and placement. Thank you.

Hi Bluesy, here are a couple links to get you rolling:

http://www.aikenamps.com/AmpTerms.html

http://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Amplifier- ... roduct_top

Search inside Amazon, you will probably find a few other books.

All the best.
