Peavey Blazer 158 "Transtube" Guitar Amplifier REPAIR

Picked this up for $20 almost completely dead (I say almost, as you'll see why in the video). It's kind of interesting to find a guitar amplifier NOT made in China. This one is actually made in Meridian Mississippi, USA (even though in the video I said I couldn't identify where it was made - even though it has printed Meridian MA on the back).

I believe "transtube technology" means they're using a discrete preamplifier design, which has distortion characteristics similar to valve state equipment.

If you have one of these Peavey amplifiers, or probably any Peavey amplifier that is dead, here's what you can do.
