    Yeah, I guess I'll throw in my towel. I've never seen Webers DR. However, if it 's new there shouldn't any maul functioning stuff there... So either Loadthud is right on the money or... eumm ehh well someone did something wrong. ;-)

      Oh, by the way. If you're looking for the original DR behaviour you can take a look at the AB763 circuit. It looks as if the pot is wired differently...

        I looked at Fenders layout and schematic for the DR, but the only difference I can see is that Webers kit has a switch on the back of the Intensity pot. Are there other differences?
        I think I'll let the amp sit for a week while I build the cab, then hopefully a fresher set of eyes will spot the error I must have made somewhere..

          The switch is a mod to the stock Fender circuit to completely remove the tremolo from the signal path and thus increase the gain. Weber has included this as a standard feature.
          WARNING! Musical Instrument amplifiers contain lethal voltages and can retain them even when unplugged. Refer service to qualified personnel.

            When you get back in there why don't you give us an update.
            1. Current status of the amp - I've lost track
            2. What you've repaired/replaced.

              I gave up on the troubleshooting and rebuilt everything on the circuit board except the normal channel preamp and the driver stage. I reused the caps and resistors, but used a different wire. I found that the wire that came with the Weber kit was easily broken, it's not very fleksible. If that was the culprit of my troubles with this bulid I can't really say. But after the rebuild the amp, reverb and tremolo and everything is working like it should.
