Goldgilding Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Anyone know of a responsible repair shop to replace gains on a JM Peach II? I bought it used and the gains are not original, clic-stop type. The original gains sweep -no click. I appreciate your time.

Coytee Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I don't but wouldn't that be a simple solder job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Interesting comment about the clicking gains. One reason I like the Crown K2's is that they have clicking gains. My thinking is I have some way to gauge that they are as close as they can be. When I use the non clicking gains on my dbx amp, I always feel a bit frustrated that they're not the same. (shrugs shoulders, being ocd has its issues I suppose!) I even debated on getting my meter out so I could perhaps measure the gains electronically and finally put my foot down to myself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakdown7 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 You could send it to Craig at NOS Valves, as I’m sure he’d be willing to repair this and give your unit a check up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 so you just want to increase the number of attenuation steps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Someone here with that model could look at theirs to tell what part belongs there so you could have a tech order the correct part. I have one of his Merlins, which may be the same part, but I don't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I read a while back that he has worked on the Peach II. I'll google his contact. Again, I thank you! A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 The brand Alps comes to my mind.... is that what he used or am I just off in la-la land? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 If someone installed stepped attentuators they should be better (less distortion) than the original pots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock pots were not that great. Mine had to be replaced under warranty. Not Mark's fault, he designed to a price point, like everything else out there. If you are going through the effort replace the pots with an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown7 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I have had a Juicy Music Super Merlin preamp for a long time and never had an issue with the volume or gain pots. I believe mine are Alps Blue Velvet, if I’m not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 On the Peach I had the volume control was Alps (nice!), but the channel gains were just basic pots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a long time but I do remember having separate pots for each channel and a main pot. I think that one of the separate volume pots went bad in my Peach, not the main pot. Replace the separate volume pots with Alps and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
