I have an American Bass amp on my work bench that has a couple of shorted output mosfets. IRF3710.
My problem is that someone has gone to great lengths to hide what kind of amp this is and what ICs are used inside the amp.
It looks like the output mosfets are directly driven by a socketed IC. It’s been masked over. I’m wondering if it may be a HIP4080.
There are no markings on the top or end plates to identify the amp, and bottom plate doesn’t have a sticker on it either. I do see a partial serial number.
The board version silk screen has been masked over as well.
I will include pictures.
Any info this community could share would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David
