IN other words, I would want a true clone of the original thing. WIth that said and now knowing that FEnder stiffened the 5E7 up, I suppose that if I wanted another 5E7-having owned two '59's BAndmasters-I would have to build my own using a voltage-corrected power tranny that would deliver B+ in line with the original schematic.and I would use the original filtering capacity as well.with a clone of the original OT. A stiffer soundin 5E7becomes something that the vintage 5E7 wasn't. Those two amps are different, and I like variety. Do I like what the vintagecuit does? Yessir. Do I like what the stiffer soudning 5F6A does? Yessir. The vintage 5E7/5F4/5E5-A circuits are soem of the most musical and responsive tweeds that wer built, to my ear. If one is looking for vintage tones, then ime higher voltages are not what one wants. Luckily None of my Mustang GT / GTX amps have exhibited this random Audio drop out problem, but Ive posted the likely areas where to look in the circuitry to implement corrective action.Ime and imho on this very subjective issue, whether or not any changes from the original circuit is 'sensible' has to rely on the judgement of the player. If ANY electrical contact in any of the Blue circles above are weak or compromised - this results in random audio drop outs I observed the production line applies a small dab of clear RTV glue on this 16 pin IDC plug to keep it connected to the 2x8 (.100") PCB Male Header on the CODEC board, but often this plug along with the contact former dielectric base on the Male Header can still vibrate free The Headphone Jack analog circuitry is among an array of signals for sensing the front panel controls on the common Front Panel Ribbon Cable (Blue Circle above) connected to the CODEC Board The Headphone Jack is unsecured low cost vertical PCB Mounted 3.5mm TRS Switching jack, and any side to side tugging on the headphone jack cable WILL compromise the internal PCB solder connections on the switching contacts, and create random Audio drop outs.]Ībove right (Blue Circle) Inspect the Headphone Jack PCB Mounting pads for any breaks, cold solder joints, etc - these solder pads can easily weaken if a headphone cable plug was tugged too hard. If the Headphone Jack is occupied, or if there are broken solder joints on the headphone jack, no sound emerges from the internal 12" SpeakerĪn unoccupied Headphone Jack withis essential for the Mustang amp's Speaker to continue working and not cut out] The Mustang GT/GTX follows similar signal flow of the Mustang III-V (V2) Or test for faulty flux removal of the SWITCHING HEADPHONE JACK. I do agree Fender needs to do a failure analysis on the faulty units that exhibit random Audio Drop outs, and perhaps implement an ECO(Engineering change order) to use a higher specification Ribbon cable and Male header = Mustang GT/GTX - Random Audio Dropout fix topicseen#msg208028 I say might, because it's likely that your file didn't download or downloaded a 6KB useless file, because Fender doesn't maintain their software. Now you might have a backing track that plays on your computer - and not through your amp, as you would expect.The dropdown displays your imported backing track WAV files. Click the BAND button, and select MP3/Wave.Click Main Menu > View > Preset Editor to return to the Presets view.The file(s) are imported to the Band Track area. Navigate to where you saved the WAV file(s), select them, and click Open.Click the DOWNLOAD button again, and save the WAV file to your PC.Search and find one you want, and click the green DOWNLOAD button.Click the Download Band Tracks button.Click the Community button and navigat to Home (if you're not there alread) by clicking the house icon.Of course, if you've never imported any, you won't see them. On the Presets view (amplifier and effects), there's a BAND button that displays installed backing tracks.
