Tremolo issue on my ‘69 Bandmaster Reverb
Posted: Thu Feb 17, 2022 11:10 pm
Howdy.
Here's the issue: My tremolo doesn't seem to be getting any guitar signal. I can hear the background noise change with me increasing and decreasing the intensity and speed pots, but my guitar signal is unaffected.
Here's what I've tried:
Replacing the tremolo driver tube (with a handful of tubes to ensure it's not that)
Changed out all of the old white Mallory caps with new Spragues
Inspected the roach/photocell (it lights up and changes with the pots)
Touched up and reflowed the solder on the entire tremolo section
Is anyone able to offer insight as to what might be the issue?
Thanks!
