No it does not. It sounds fine when my guitar is wide open on the volume, but when I dial my volume down(on my guitar) this amp gets so quiet I can barely hear it.Strange.

They're soldered together. Damn strange.

I've seen a lot of circuitry in my lifetime, but this is new. It's a mutation! !

No it's not. It's a very common electronic hack. Adding the second resistor in parralell changes the resistance value of that resistor position.
I can't read the resistor values but if they were both the same ohmage [ which is common when doing this ] , it halves the ohmage value.
The same as if you connected two speakers of the same ohmage , in parralell.[ EG: 8 + 8 = 4 ]
I'll look for a schematic and see if I can figure what it's doing. I can't find one yet.

There is a question gnawing at the back of my mind. WHY DO THEY DO THIS HACK??

For when they don't have a resistor of the right value so they just do some math to get the right value (or close to it) from other resistors they have laying around.

Thankyou. I was thinking it was another type of modding trick I keep reading about.

Re: What's wrong with this picture? This is part of a circuit belonging to a Pignose
When I design circuits at work
I put a resistor in a signal to keep from shorting to ground
Then a separate resistor in the path to where I want the signal
To drop it to value I need (usually 5 volts for some other process)
Think of it as dams ant weirs in a stream
Dam to send the water down where you want it
And a weir at the end to control the height of the flow

I haven't found one yet but I'll keep looking. A wider and clearer pic of that circuit board could help deduce what it's doing.

I'm sorry. I put that amp back together to save some space in my small abode.

You think it left the manufacturer like that? If that's true I'm steering far away from Pignose products. There's no excuse for that shoddy work.
Though I do think that's some mod previous owner or lousy tech did to it.

I did buy it slightly used. The person who bought it noticed it wasn't working properly so a week later returned it for a refund. I only paid $20 for it so no great loss.Mainly bought it for the challenge of repairing it. OH WELL.
