I just had to do it, found an old mace sittin in the pawn shop for 150.00 and could not pass it up. Learned my lesson from my previous Classic VTX experience and spent a day cleaning it up. Awesome amp!!! From what I understand from the manual, I should be able to select either channel 1 or 2 via the select switch when the guitar is plugged into the automix jack. (my am has 4 inputs, normal, automix, and effects 1 and 2. the normal input seems to be high gain, normal channel only. The Automix input as I understand it should give me either channel 1 or channel 2 via the select switch or both together if the combine switch is depressed. The effects inputs 1 seems to be high gain channel 2 only and the input 2 seems to be low gain channel 2 only.
Here is the trouble. When in the automix input I cannot seem to select channel 1 alone. I can select channel 2 alone and when i hit the select switch again both channels 1 and 2 become active. The combine switch if activated will combine both channels and in that mode the select switch is not functional. I took the foot switch apart and verified the select switch is functioning normaly, ie, one depress and two legs of the switch are connected, next press and the opposite leg is connected. Took the din apart and looks good there as well, although there was some residual solder on pin 3 and nothing connected there. Tried to verify the din wiring with the peavey schematic for the automix but my wiring does not match up with that schematic. The footswitch functions normally in evey other position, reverb works, phaser works, combine works, just won't let me select channel 1 by itself. Hoping you can give me a shove in the right direction......
Thanks!!
