Ampeg Rocket R-12A preset

Verified · 89/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Ampeg Rocket R-12A is a single-channel tube guitar combo following the R-12 Rocket layout, with 7591As in place of the earlier 6V6s. Three inputs feed half a 6SL7 with a volume and a single tone control, the other half runs tremolo with speed, intensity and a footswitch, and a second 6SL7 is a paraphase inverter for the cathode-biased 7591A pair, with speaker feedback and a 5Y3GT rectifier.
