I just got a Maverick guitar amp (not bass from what I can tell). I LOVE it. @mavuser you're right. That tremolo sold me. I had no intention of buying another amp and then I couldn't get that tremolo out of my mind. (I ended up selling a much beloved Alamo Montclair because I love the Maverick more. It was one of those rare pieces that just spoke to me. Also the Alamo's going to a friend who lost his in a flood. The Mav just made it a little easier to part with it.) I just got it, so I have a couple of questions and was wondering if someone could help me out.
#1) Does anyone have the schematic for the 1971 Maverick guitar amp?
#2) There's no foot switch, right? I can't find a 1/4 inch input/jack for one. Am I missing something? Is there a way to add one so I can turn the trem/rev off while playing?
#3) And this is probably a general amp question, but I can't figure out the "skittles-ish" noise that I get from it every now and again. Sometimes it works beautifully, and other times, when I play, it gets this weird staticky, noise like if you play a tube amp just as the power is going off. Is that a bad tube? If so, how do I safely identify it?
Any advice would be much appreciated. (Just don't ask me if it's the guitar or cables. It's not.)
Thanks, Guild lovers.
