Well, got into the PH1 and easily cleaned the switch. It’s a momentary/silver screw/clear switch version. Just popping the switch from the chassis, easily opening the switch up with a screwdriver and squirting Deoxit into the contacts was enough to get it working again. The grommet had disintegrate...

I might actually stick with the DD-6 ....

Starting the board build. CE-5 standing in for the CE-2w and DD-6 standing in for the DM-2w until they arrive.

What you see above is the correct engineering solution for the amount of heat this arrangement generates. Fender simply did not do it. My guess is that their factory arrangement would last well past the warranty expiry, so "good enough". As an engineer, I find this to be galling - financial expedie...

Haven't really used it much yet. I need to build the board around it.

Nice writeup pepe!

In front of the IR-2:

• DS-1 transition (MIT but with MIJ internals)

• SD-1 MIJ

In the effects loop of the IR-2:

• BF-2

• DM-2w

• CE-2w - stereo out

• RV-5 - in stereo

Feeding into my workshop rig of a pair of Yorkville powered mid=highs, and an 18" JBL sub.

I'll post pics as i get it setup.

This is now the front of the PCB.
