I have a TSL in the shop from 1999 with a few issues. I've spent a bit of time of this amp fixing bad solder joints and getting the bias circuit to work again. The XLR out circuit seems to be affecting the bias and I haven't had the time to look at that but the customer doesn't care about the XLR out, so I'l just disable it for now.
The amp has 1 problem left. When all controls on the clean channel are at "0", I still get some sound to come through the speakers when playing through the clean channel. The other channels are fine. I tried the test with all controls at "0" on all channels to see if perhaps one of the other channels was bleeding through the clean and it made no difference.
These amps are pretty complex and I could be spending a lot of hours on this before I find the solution, which is why I'm seeking help here. Perhaps one of you has seen this before?
I measured the OPT1 and OPT2 LDR values on the clean channel board and found something interesting.
In clean mode:
OPT01: 241 ohms
OPT02: 261 ohms
In crunch mode:
OPT01: 500k ohms
OPT02: 1.9M ohms
OPT01 seems a little low when in crunch mode but in clean mode, it looks fine, so that's probably not the problem.
Any ideas on what to look for here?
