A Fender DeVille from the recent Iggy Pop NZ tour just came through the workshop.

I really enjoyed working on this amp and tracing through the issue!

I filmed the repair process, and the video is now up for Workbench members.

Thanks Team!

Schematic available here

You asked for it, so I’ve put this out early. I have a full video coming soon, but the deluxe schematic is available now for those who want to get a head start on the build.

For almost a decade, this circuit has been the final gatekeeper for every guitar that leaves my bench. What started as a simple way to verify repairs turned into a cosmic fluke... a 1/4-watt amp that actually sounds like a seriously good amplifier!
