Can somebody who's pulled a old Blade series 2 amp apart give me a clue. The fets are pressed into a channel in the sink with tape and clips. Im afraid to wreck the board pulling it off. Needs a new gain pot.

If no one answers, post a photo. I worked on a couple but it was about 20 years ago.

There in there tight too.

I think it just pulls straight out.

Probably. It's an odd way to mount them, lots of stress on the board pulling them apart. It's a 4ch amp but made with 2 2ch amps side by side in the same sink. Each channel has its own gain pot and one won't adjust low enough.

They made some strange amps. I think they were the same company that made the grenade amp that wouldn't function without its 'pin'.

Do you mean the ones that only have to work once?

Comedian, eh?
