Super Reverb vibrato channel

I have low volume on the vibrato channel. Normal channel is great.

Any ideas ? I did notice that pin #1 on V2 is only 179v....not 270v.

Pin 1 of what? 179 sounds like it's just supposed to be biased around the mid point.

Use a little MS paint on this schematic here and show use where on the vibrato channel does the signal get before it stops and the relevant voltages around whatever component it stops at.

Oh, and mind dem caps!

On an AB763, one rebuilt to correct specs will have a slightly lower volume on the vibrato channel vs. the Normal channel. Same on my Showman. With 40 watts and 4x10's, hopefully it's not that much lower in volume.

Go over here instead for much better advice -- it's where I went for answers when rebuilding my Showman and Bandmaster.
