I thought so too Dave, but I have only been able to find a user manual for download. It's not desperately important. Just one of my mate who runs the shop's customers, who wants a jack putting on the back panel to take out signal just ahead of the master vol. I just wanted to have a quick look at exactly how it was configured around that bit of the circuit, just to see what I was dealing with impedance wise etc.

A freebie download would be a great thing, but Peavey sells their schematics for only $2.50 US... seems a pittance if it can save you an hour or two of circuit tracing. I've bought several schematics from them.. they are very friendly and ship immediately. Their service folks are quite easy to talk to as well... if you don't mind the phone charges, give them a call and they will prolly be glad to chat for a few minutes.

Cheers!!!

Sorry Arfa, don`t seem to have that one.

OK, thanks all anyway. As I said, not sweating it, more for interest really. I dare say that my mate is probably actually a dealer, and could get the service info direct here in the UK, if it turned out to actually be needed. As he is a biggish shop selling nothing but instruments and amplification, he is a dealer for most common makes, and we don't usually have trouble getting service info for anything that we have in for repair. I haven't even pulled the chassis out of the box yet, but I'm not expecting anything elaborate. It's only a single speaker half-size cab. Not much more than a practice amp really ...

I see that you're wanting to get a tap off pre master volume control? You can probably just pull it off the outer tags of the pot via a capacitor - but you knew that already :^)

Ron(UK)

That was my thought, Ron. It's slightly more complicated than that in that he would like a screwdriver-slot level pot on the back for the new output, as well, which is why I just wanted to have a quick squint at the resistor values around the area, to pick a suitable value pot that's not going to compromise anything that's already going on there. I'm sure it will all be apparent when I pull it to bits and have a shufty. Thanks for your interest.

Peavey's schematics are full sized, high quality prints. Not copies, nor reduced to the point of illegibility. They are usually on 11X17 (high quality) paper, on multiple sheets if the circuitry is too complex to get onto a single sheet. I have a couple schematics on 8.5X11 paper of some very simple equipment. I have to say that I've only bought schematics for solid-state equipment, which is significantly more complex than tubed equipment. When I received the first schematic that I bought from them, I was amazed by the quality. I don't hesitate to order from them if I even remotely think I'll need a schematic. If you buy from Peavey, you will NOT be disappointed. Yes, it would be nice to be able to download a PDF, but I think you'd be more disappointed with that than with a paper print.

No, I'm not affiliated with Peavey.. . just a satisfied customer. Cheers!!!

Anyone got the schematics for a Peavey "Series 402" power amp section. The actual board is marked "402 Module" and has the power amp and power supply regulators on it. The whole amp is a head that's made in two bits :- a front panel unit that's the preamps etc, and a completely independant rear section - the "Series 402" bit. Supply +/- and gnd, and signal connections run between the two.

I've been round all the usual amp schematic sites, but can only find references to this item, not actual schems. Any help much appreciated.

TIA
