hi all,
just got an old marshall lead 12 from a trade. i remember that a friend's lead 12 had very nice crunch tones. mine doesn't have any overdrive even at full gain. the previous owner told me that the amp got a bit weak. i've cleaned the pots to no avail.
is this normal for an old unit? also any components i should look at? there doesn't seem to be any burnt stuff or bloated caps. i'd like to learn amp electronics with this unit since the schematics look easy.
thanks.
