I have a silverface fender pro reverb that I'm currently going through and replacing drifted components and a couple mods.
Regarding the voltage divider resistors found in the filter cap can. I cant find a schematic for the blackface pro reverb. Mine are different from the silverface reverb schematic (my amp's schematic) And I've read that they changed these values from blackface to silverface. All I can find about it says...
"Resistor changes in dc voltage dividor circuity. The 1kOhm resistor was replaced by a 4,7KOhm resistor. The 10kOhm was replaced by a 4,7KOhm."
So I assume the 2x220k resistoras in parallel with the larger 100uf caps are correct for both versions. but...
if you're looking at the filter can from the bottom side of the amp the 22uf cap farthest away from the 100uf cap side. so the first resistor from right to left if the amp is upside down and the front panel is facing you... (sorry complicated I know) This first resistor has a color code indicating 10k.
the next resistor going left is 2.2k
So I guess in a silverface these would both be 4.7k? but in the blackface one is supposed to be 10k and the other 1k. But I dont know which should be which?
Anyone have a blackface schematic for the pro reverb?
Will changing these affect the sound of performance of the amp much? I did get some 1 watt high quality PRP metal film resistors in a bunch of values so I should be able to easily replace them
On another note I've heard it's good to replace some of the power tube resistors to higher values... I think it said to replace the big 1 watt 470ohms on each power tube to 1k... is this a good idea? Will it affect tone?
Thanks a bunch! Sorry the post is so long, just gettin all the details for ya.
Anything is much appreciated!
