Peavey VTX Classic guitar amp and the M 5884 audio chip.
Does anyone have any information on the M 5884 audio output transistor used in the (vintage 1981) Peavey VTX Classic guitar amps? I cannot find any information on the M 5884 on the Internet. One site mentions a MJE15030 as a replacement, but when I tried one the audio was fuzzy even on the clean channel. The amp has two 6lggc final tubes. The output stopped and one of the tubes was glowing red. With the MJE15030 installed the tube stopped glowing red, but the audio is fuzzy. A datasheet for the original M
5884 transistor would be very helpful if anyone has one. Also a schemtic for the Peavey VTX Classic wouldl help. I posted a message on Peavey's forum as well.-Michael
