Hello,

I have a Fender Champion 600 that I am in the process of modding. This is a nice little amp with a lot of potential. Have already swapped the tubes, speaker and grill cloth. The first circuit mod was to remove the Negative Feedback Loop by lifting R7 (2.2k). I could stop here because the amp really comes alive now! Great amp for my Les Paul Jr w/P90!

The next baby step is to replace R7 with a 22k but want to be able to bypass R7 altogether or have R7 in the circuit. This seems simple enough but I cannot find how to wire this properly. I've researched but couldn't find any resource that showed how this is done.

Would someone please show me how to do the wiring? You can start off with which end of R7 do you lift for the wiring? The DPDT switch is a simple On-Off with 6 poles for the wiring. I would like the On position to be up with the NFL engage.

Any help would be most appreciatiated!


regards,
Robert

Welcome to the forum Robert, if you post in the Modern Amps section the guys there will sort you out I'm sure, seen a good few 600 mods in that section, good luck

Ok, I'm an idiot. I simply need a SPST switch and that I can figure out. Actually, I'm understanding the DPST switch now.

Will post in the modern guitar section too... :oops:

See my response in Modern Amps. Your idea has some problems that I have explained.
