This mess was suppose to be a second set of drive and master controls for the lead channel.

And what's worse the idjot could not use a soldering iron either.

I have restored the IV to original and I'll show the after pics tommorow.

Boys and Girls; please don't try to mod your own amp. The new owner of the amp is spending a lot of money to have this undone.

Looks like a Mark IV fire hazard waiting to happen

as if the Mark IV wasnt complicated enough :lol:

It was interesting to see that they tried to use relays to switch stuff but come on! that is one hell of a rats nest!

Okay here's an update and some after photos: I'm still waiting on the arrival of the lead drive pull/pot and a new 5pin XLR jack

I'd almost consider trading my bench time for these:

and here's what came out:

I lol'd at the Tone knob

There is NO way this guy needed 5 DPDT relays and 6 miles of wire to fit a second set of Drive/Master controls. And did he use super glue to mount them to the PT? :shock:

Better: Epoxy, and he glued all the LED's in the footswitch with Epoxy. The ftsw was also a mess and I had to smash out the led's to get the board out to remove the junk in it also.

Ouch, lol. This reminds me of a post on Jemsite where a member wondered why his neck pickup wasn't working and he used alligator clips to install everything :roll:

Good job so far on the de-mod Restless!
