Guitar Gear Forum

Spotted this guy in a shop, no tag no nothing in a random pile of stuff. Asked how much, said $159 but it needed work and was missing the footswitch. the guy in the shop didnt know what it needed, but at $159 I took a gamble. but turns out the clean channel is not working well. Also no foot switch. Ill fix the clean channel and I used to have a spare jack for the footswitch if I still have it laying around ill make a footswitch if not ill buy one.

Ohhhhhh man I'm jealous!! I've been wanting to get one of those for a good price.
I wouldn't worry about the clean channel. Without the footswitch the 2 channels are blended. Just set the clean channel to 0 and use the gain channel that way.

nice!!

Goes into music store to play John Denver, walks out playing Pantera! Nice score!

I figured that out quick! I had forgot that they had a mode with both channels engaged. I had the rgp1000 rackmount for a short while and I think the foot switch for that it had a mode to set both channels on. I doubt ill be keeping this, so ill let you know first if I off it.

Which model is that?

rg80es, I thought it was in the second paictures but looks like that got blocked by the power cable.

the circuit is pretty easy, my clean channel problems is after the gain pot before the master pot.

Anyone know what the internal trim pot is for? reverb?

Nice, a friend has one too. I had to make a footswitch as well. I used an old Crate 3 button. The trim pot is in the power output section. The manual and schematic can be seen below. Don't forget about the treble pull pot for added gain.

What a beauty...and for $159 a killer deal. Love my RG100es

CONGRATS!!!!
The 1980's-RG80's-made-in-Irvine, CA totally ROCK!!!!!!
As JSutter suggests, don't forget to pull out the Treble knob. I played my RG80 for 30 years before I found out about the secret Treble pot pull!!!!
