In Reply to: Pas tone control removal question posted by Miser lee on May 31, 2003 at 18:00:14:
Terminals 12 & 14 are electrically the same (12 is the terminal connected to the bass pot while 14 is the terminal connected to the audio output) so in step # 8 it doesn't matter if you jump 13 to 12 OR 13 to 14.Did you complete the previous step (step #7) - connecting terminal 11 to 13 ?

I completed all the steps. Then it should have been ok. It was the left channel that acted up anyway. (left handed, always mix these up)But I'm pretty sure I had everything right. What is the possibility of the tone circuit hiding a faulty component, resulting in said symptom?
I don't think it's likely that the tone control could be providing a complimentary mask to another problem - but stranger things have happened.I would double check the TC removal wiring. If this still fails to work, feel free to call me to discuss.
Joe:I have downloaded your instructions for defeating the tone controls in my PAS. I would like to perform that operation in a couple of SCA-35 integrated amps, too. I'd like to keep one and give the other to a friend's kid going off to college. I've read descriptions of the SCA-35 preamp circuitry ranging from "a PAS grafted onto a SC35" to "a completely different cicuit), though the latter seem to primarily refer to the dual vs. seperate pots. I dunno. I've read Roger Stevens instructions, which 1)much more complicated, and 2)resultant of weird side effects.
Can I use your method with the SCA-35s? (I realize that it wont transfer literally, i.e., I'll need to identify anaolgous leads and board terminals) Maybe something similar?
Any guidance you can lend will be greatly appreciated. I do have schematics to all the Dynaco amps.
Very truely yours,
Dave Osborne
