One Ugly Ass Amp. Ampeg G-212

Thanks but, my real talent is taking pics that don't show all the fuckups.

Judge an amp not by the color of its tolex, but by the tone.

Hi,
I have 2 G212's and I love them. Perfect for guitar and keyboard. The one thing I don't have is the 2 button footswitch.
Does anyone have a circuit diagram from the footswitch....it must be pretty simple inside.

Don't now myself but, this is a really good place to ask. Good luck.

Hey, I do not notice any difference between the inputs... Can you tell me what the polarity switch is for? I think that might only be useful for people in the states because we have different sockets here... I haven't tried a bass but since the sound of the amp without the "treble switch" is pretty bassy, I imagine that also a bass sounds quite good. The inbuilt Tremolo makes a constant sound, a rhythmic chk-chk-chk even if you turn speed and intensity of the Tremolo down... Do you know how to fix this?

Foot switch question reminds me about this. Maybe if he had the footswitch it would solve his problem. I've never had this problem with the Ampeg but, I bought a 60s Sears amp, and I can't completely turn off the tremolo with that one.
