REPAIR OF AN AMPEG VT-22 V4 AMPLIFIER HEAD








Shame about all the lettering having disappeared!











Coming in for the very simple job of the removal of the USA style "grounding switch & cap", together with  a general check-over and service......There isn't really that much to tell about this one.






Right-hand view of the boards.





Centre view of the boards. Some work has previously been done on this and the replaced components have been put on the top-side of the board. (.........or underside, depending on which way you look at this). A typically lazy way of working!






Left-hand view of the boards. Some pratt has put this vehicle-type in-line fuse holder....in series with the existing main fuse on the back of the amp and.......with a 25 amp fuse in it! What the f**k is the point of this? I did remove it of course.





The usual Ampeg side-mounting plates with rubber cushioning.....for when the amp is inverted the right way up in its case of course.





After having given her a full service, checked and juggled the output tubes around a bit, she performed really well....A nice sounding amp, even though it is PCB based!!
