Alright folks. I got a deal. I have a Tech 21 Double Drive, OR a 59/Custom Hybrid. Your choice, it's FREE for anyone who can resolve this unfortunate issue. I recently got a Vox Cambridge, great amp, did the 56 mod. Thanks again Chris, good business. Well, somehow, I accidently broke a pin off the chip when resecuring the optocoupler. Alright no biggie. I purchased another and installed to the exact instructions. Low and behold, I turn the amp on and something starts to smell. I turn it off. The Power transistor was incredibly hot. I tried again. Same deal. Third time, nothing came on, not even the LED. I mean, you can hear it click on and off, ect, even the first couple of times, but not this time. So I redid the wiring, double checked everything. Turned it on, nothing, but a smell. I went through 3 different chips. With each one the same deal. When I touched the large blue capacitor next to the power transistor, I recieved a small shock. The I touched the 56 chip, again small shock. So, it seems obvious power is running through. The slow blow fuse looks alright. The only thing that looks burnt is Z04, which is a rectifier/diode. It was that way before. I change out the optocoupler again. Still no prevail. All the joints look good. So, what's up. Is it the blue capacitor next the power transistor? The electylic capacitor connected to the 56 Chip? I'm serious about this deal. I will pay for SHIPPING. I can't get it into a tech for a month, so I figured if I put enough motivated minds behind this, I could do it myself, with the obvious assistance of someone who knows what the hell their doing. You can post here or send me an PM. Thanks to all in advanced.
