Marshall ShredMaster repair

Post by h8mtv »

I recently pickup up a ShredMaster from Joey with broken jacks. I didn't know they used some wacky proprietary jacks that are not made anymore. I am pretty sure replacements are going to be impossible or very expensive to find. Anyways, went off road and now she's up an running nicely with switchcraft jacks and a new vero sub board.

Nice! The jacks on these suck, I fear mine will break in the immediate future. I also feel like the switch is doomed too. Mike, what would make one of these not work on battery anymore, solely on AC power?

Most likely cause is strainon the battery leads which has caused them to break internally = no battery power.

Either that or the DC jack might be a switching type that only enables the battery when a plug is not in, and that part has worn over time and isn't springing back to make contact and allow the battery into the circuit.

Fuck batteries anyway.

Considering the fact that I already replaced the battey plug, it has to be the DC jack not springing back. Thanks alot man!

Yep, either the dc jack or a defective input jack. The input jack is switching so if the plug is removed the battery won't drain by disconnecting the battery neg.
