  • Peavey Transtube Supreme Schematic

    I've got a Peavey Transtube Supreme on my bench that got smoked. Anyone have a schematic for this. I emailed Peavey but got no answer. The amp was worked on by someone previously and has some missing parts as well as burned traces.
    Here's another question. Would a burnt circuit board conduct electricity? If so would corona dope help it out?
    Thanks Paul

    PV was closed all week for Thanksgiving, so if you emailed then...

    COntact customerservice@peavey, and when emails don;t get attention, and believe me, companies the size of Peavey get them by the thousands, pick up the phone and CALL them.

    Carbon conduct electricity. If your circuit board is charred, the carbonized part will conduct. All the corona dope in the world won;t turn the carbon nonconductive, it will simply conduct under the paint.

    A little brown discoloration won't hurt, but grind away any black charred stuff.
    Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.

      Thanks Enzo, I originally emailed the repair dept, so I resent it to the customer service dept. In retrospect that does make more sense. I usually scraped out the burn't stuff in the past but I didn't know if it made any real difference so thanks for the input.

        I received the schematics the next day. I'm posting them here in case anyone else can use them.

          Correct me if I'm wrong...

          but is the name of this PDF suggesting that the transtube supreme is essentially a "head only" version of the transtube bandit? I have 2 transtube bandits first edition... and ... I have to admit I really like them. I have a couple of 60s/70s tube amps, but they both died...

          Perhaps this would go nicely with my marshall 2x12 cab.

            Yeah I checked my records and it was a 100 watt head.

              Thanks for your quick reply. An interesting side note is that the design of the supreme transtube is that it looks a lot like the late 70s univox tube head I have:

              They both have a sort of rounded grill on the front.

              I'm currently recapping the univox to see if I can fix it. If not I might just unashamedly go solid state... :-)
