@bingefella how do you mean voices bud? I'm rubbish when it comes to amps, :-D

Any clips @mrchi? I can't think of any other analog SS amps voiced like a Boogie....

Does anyone have the schematics of the high gain series???!!
It shouldn't be too much of an issue for a good tech with standard solid-state analogue amp experience - I don't think there was anything very unusual about them in terms of technology or components. From memory it's possible some of them could have used an ILP integrated power module, which will be a problem if the fault is there, but even if so it could be replaced by another standard power amp.
If I was closer to you I'd be happy to have a look at it...

The trouble with the amp: it seems stuck in USA crunch mode (gain stage red light in button stays red after pressing it) when switching tot clean channel. After some time being powered on, the USA crunch button seems working after pressing it (red light dims) but the sound stays distorted when switching too clean channel (green light). Other smaller trouble: reverb does not work and when activating reverb the amp becomes noisy, same deal when activating send/return effect loops, a lot of high noise. The sound is a bit weird at low volumes. The amp is DAMN loud when testing it on a Marshall 1960 cab.
So: I haven't heard clean tones yet from this amp only distorted tones and a bit freaky tones at low volumes. My repair guy agrees to take a look at it but he becomes expensive if he can't find the culprit without schematics.
