Hi, this is my first post (long time lurker) so firstly I'd like to say "Hello!" and thanks to the mods for providing such a great resource for Mesa-Boogie owners.
I'm a long-time DC-5 owner, been gigging with mine for over 15 years and absolutely love it to death.
I recently purchased a 22+ which I'm hoping I can use for the smaller gigs my band plays and give my poor old back a rest.
The amp is in great condition and everything is working except the bass control which does nothing.
I'm OK with working on my amps and I have a schematic but on taking the chassis out of the cab I'm wondering how on earth I can get at the component side of the board without unsoldering half the connections. The pot checks out OK btw so I'm guessing the problem is somewhere around C8.
If anyone can tell me the least painful way to get at the component side of the PCB I'd be very grateful!
Thanks in advance
