Peavey transtube Supreme (NO DISTORTION, NO REVERB

[VictorG]

Hello, I purchased a 90's era supreme for cheap.

I plug in and have no DISTORTION and the REVERB has been unwired from the board. The wires are in tact to the REVERB.

I feel like something is missing from the top half of the board. There are a 5 plastic prong piece with nothing in it.

Thanks. the white plastic thing is a female connector. Get a grip on it and it will pull off, leaving a row of male pins on the circuit board inside the chassis.

The connector is a "insulation displacement connector" or IDC. Your reverb wires with the shaggy ends used to be pressed into the grooves of that connector. They have been ripped out of it. It would be difficult to reuse that connector. We can get a new connector body - one that uses crimped pins instead of IDC. We then crimp new pins on the ends of the cables, and insert them into the new connector body.

That chassis hole and connector are indeed where the reverb used to connect to the main circuit board.
