I'm wrong? I give no instruction on how to measure capacitance. So how am I wrong? I only state that it can be measured. I know capacitors need to be physically removed from the circuit to measure capacitance. If any electronic component is disguised and bad then your pretty much fucked unless the amp is going back to the original modder. My statement was more for pfapin05 who was inquiring about measuring within the circuit when power is applied, maybe I should have quoted him for reference. Dont ridicule me in a post when you misinterpret something you have read and say I am wrong. I said capacitance could be measured and gave no instruction on how to measure capacitance.

Lighten up. Why post if you are not being helpful. I didn't want others thinking it was as simple as just having no power running through the circuit. Jeez WTH. Wasn
t trying to ridicule and even if I was (really wasn't) maybe you should get a thicker skin or stay off of Internet forums.

Lighten up? Stay off the forum? Get thicker skin? Why? Because you didnt exercise enough reading comprehension through a first read and decide to respond in a condescending manner. If indeed you didnt want the impression made that it was that easy, then add additional information as to why vs. "Wrong....".
Statements like "The question was simple." that you respond with certainly gives that impression. I'm not giving basic electronics classes. I contributed 2 positive facts to questions that had been asked within the thread.
You shot at me first and I fired back and you tell me to get thicker skin? Are you serious, were both Yankees man... There is no thicker skin to get. But if you were sincere about not trying to ridicule like you mention, then I can forget about 'back & forth'.

I've heard dental tools/picks work...but laborous as hell. I've also heard that a good tech should be able to "reverse engineer" and determine the values of the components in question. Excatly how, I couldn't tell you. But I feel you on wanting to know, because just in case the amp needs repair work, and your modder is no longer available or no longer modding, then you'd like to have some sort of an out to get your shit running again. I too have a black gooped amp...unlike steve_k's the goop on my amp was used sparingly and was done "cleanly".

L, oh, fucking L! are you kidding me?!
As said if it works why worry...
And more importantly...
YOU bought an amp modified by someone that gooped, "or" had a propensity for gooping amps.
You're obviously as sick as any one of us, buy direct from Musicians Friend if your chicken....
Kinda a rant, but fucking seriously...

Thanks to those who wish to post helpful responses. I appreciate it. The amp is not gooped bad and what was done is fairly cleanly done if that is possible. Going to button it back up and not worry about it till it needs service. Glad the boards weren't sprayed to I guess.

Nice guy I'm sure the message you sent was as clever and enlightening as your posts to the question. Like a car wreck you just can't look away can you?

What amp did you buy anyways? Being gooped is no big deal IMO as long as the amp sounds great.

The amp was a JCM 800 Reissue that Dan Hops was selling. Great amp and great seller by the way.

there have been several guys here who have pic'd off that crap with ,as said above, dental type tools or similar. it comes off. its difficult but doable.

Thanks Jerry I am done worrying about it. Not that big a deal I guess just know I don't want to be the one working on it. Amps sounds great and hopefully it will have no issues. Staying in my home studio and not getting taken to shows anyway. Have other amps for that so all good. Peace to all and Happy Holidays. Off to wood shed. I need it.

What a f-cking mess the inside of that JCM800 is!! I understand coloring components (I seem to recall my Jaded Faith MTS module had the component values blacked out as opposed to a shit load of goop when it is obvious that said part is a resistor and another a cap) but coating the entire innards of an amp is ridiculous. I guess it takes it a step further to hide whether you have used a cap or resistor in parts but i think it is taking the secret recipe to the extreme. I also can see where this would be a nightmare if something went wrong on the amp. Given the current situation though, if the amp sounds good, nothing to really worry about. Close her up and move along!

Jerry thanks again I will keep that in mind. Lets hope I have no issues. Just sprayed all pots and tube sockets. Amp sounds absolutely killer. Maybe the goop does make it sound better? If only goop made me play better.
Blowhard75 the foe option is your friend. Obviously I am not feel free to use the foe option. User Control Panel/Friends and Foes/Manage Foes/Add New Foes/Ibenhad - hope there is no reading comprehension missed there.
Happy Holidays all. May you all have a wonderful season and be grateful for what you have. No matter how big or small there is something to be thankful for.
