Hello everyone,
excuse me for disturbing you, but I need your help.
I have a vox ac30ss be repaired, because the inputs and footswitch jacks are detached from the motherboard ..
any of you who have the same amplifier could send the detailed photos on the connections of the inputs and footswitch jack vox ac30ss to repair my to its original condition?
I thank you in advance for your reply and help.

Doubt anybody has one, they are not very common, but you might post a couple clean sharp pictures of yours (no cellphone pictures, please)  and we might see what's wrong and suggest a solution.
Also google and post here the schematic, so we all talk about the same.

If it ain't broke I'll fix it until it is.

That has to be the correct schematic, not many versions of the SS version made. Also, North Coast Music sells many service manuals for vintage vox amps. They have this version in their databases and it is under "DAAC-30SS - Dallas Arbiter era all transistorized AC-30 amp, mid 1970s " on the web page.

You could send them an email asking if that service manual includes the board layouts. For $5.80 it might be worth it if the service manual has the layout, which will help you figure out where the wires are installed. First email them and ask since not all of the service manuals have a board layout print.
