Teisco bassnote 300 solid state:Loud hiss from bass amp

[galaxiex]

mmmmmkay. Really don't want to do this. Contemplating selling the amp instead (got it very cheap - so cheap that I should be able to sell it and earn a little money on it). On the other hand, I love tinkering.
What about de-soldering the board and using a scanner, and just scan each side, and then set them to transparent in the computer? That way I would end up with components+traces.

Yes, I've scanned several boards and then use a graphics program to clean it up and add in the components.
I don't usually scan both sides, just the trace side, and then draw in the components.

Beware of orientation!
It's easy to get confused if you flip the scanned board picture.

I use Paint.net for the graphics program.
It's free and easy to use.

BTW do you have pics of the whole amp? Front, back, and speaker?
I'm curious....
