Hi All,
New to this board, but have three years on my awesome 2 Channel H, and have a question (well...need). I gig regularly with the amp, and commonly switch between channels using the FS. Since the wire from the FS is long, and gets coiled up into my board bag after every gig, and after a while, said wire gets tired, and begins to get intermittent. This happened about 18 months ago. PRS tech was great, and sent me a new switch, and I returned the old one to them, which I assume was repaired and recirculated. All good.
Well said wire is again flaking out. I already attempted once to identify the location of the intermittency in the cord, cut it out, and resplice. I thought I had excised the bad spot, but my Friday gig this weekend proved me wrong (though it held fine for the Thursday gig...WTF). So I basically am going to replace the whole wire. I would ask for PRS' help again except 1) I already did so once and they were cool so I do not want to bug them; 2) the wire is not up to the task anyway so I would rather fix this once and forall with wire of heavier gauge; and 3) I have reh and a gig in the next 5 days, so have no time to wait anyway. So, the easy quesiton is...
Can someone please tell me which color wires go to which of the three contacts on the jack for this FS? I could clip the wire and test right near the jack, but am not certain that will work, in case the intermittency is right at the jack interface.
And for something more interesting if anyone cares to opine...I keep reading about awesome mods PRS can do for their amps. My 2 Channel H is stock, first year production, retubed about 8 months ago with nice fatties. I play it thru two custom built cabs I made, one with a Celestion vintage, the other a JBL G12L (about to be replaced by a Weber P15Q!). Is there a mod I should consider? I like Warren tone if that suggests any directions.
Thanks!
