thunder 1 A VERSION 2?

Hi Forum readers,
                          recently got hold of a thunder 1 a it is the wooden  laquered version 2 thru body stringing but with I think the earlier active wiring.

Question to a knowledgabe person; the farthest back tone pot that is the active pot with active switch just underneath of it; it doesn't have the detent the middle one does, when you turn it from max clockwise/treble back all the way anticlockwise all it seems to do is act like a volume control until the sound completely disappears.

My later red one with the later wiring does not do this and it has the B   O   T with the detent on it and works what I think is right. So can anyone throw any light on this please. Ged.

That's an active gain control. Version 1. Nice indeedy.
Rip you skin off...  Crank it

What Westbone said. These circuits are da bomb!
My ver I is a surface mount bridge though, not string thru. So different again (thanks Uncle Mats).

Have a look HERE for more info on the circuitry.

I see. . .. so the middle knob is the only tone knob with the detent and knob 3 is just the active off and up to +25db ?   ged.  if so now I have control back. ..  CRANK!

Hi Barry,
            Hope you ok. So am I old enough to put some pictures of these guitars up yet? I have just completed a costom Thunder jet that was a mess and put some paf 4 wire coil tappable wilkinsons on quite nice and hot. Ged

I would think so Ged. Give 'er a try me ole' trout.
