^ Yours has definitely been re-wired at some point, Spook. Here's a shot of the guts of my 1800, with the colours as indicated by Brook's image above. Also, as Brook mentioned, completely different PCB!

Thanks !! You're a life saver :)
OK, different PCB layout to the one I have, give me a little time to reverse engineer it so I don't post a tutorial on how to break a Dearmond 1800

There's a faint date stamp on mine (just above the switch) but I can't make it out. Guessing mine might be an earlier version. It has the same El Rad inductor as a Boomer, very similar board.

If it's the same as the Duovox units you should be able to truebypass it with a DPDT footswitch like this:
But before you cut any wires you may want to post some photos and tell me to double-check!
