Hello

I picked up a Peavey Ultraverb (the first edition). I am trying to fix it. All of the ICs are socketed but there are no numbers on the board to indicate pin 1.
I'm not sure if the previous owner put any of them in backwards. Does anyone have a picture of the PCB board?

Thanks

Try and locate the power rails on the PCB and see if the orientation of the ICs match... Try to measure continuity between power pins of different ICs to see again if it matches the pinout.
- Are you a mod or a rocker?
- Uh, no, I'm a mocker.

also, sockets should have notches for orientation

some gut shots on reverb of the second ed might help you

Thanks. The pictures show the Ultraverb II. The board is a little different than the original Ultraverb.
Also the board in the original Ultraverb is red. I checked the entire internet there is nothing.

The notches are the main issue. Some sockets have no notches and some are backwards. I don't know if they did it that way from the factory or the previous owner messed it up.

Go the route proposed by lolbou. There's a problem if you can't identify and/or could not find datasheets/pinouts for some of the IC's. There must be some way to determine the way they've oriented the IC's. On the one I've shared the component markings on PCB are placed on the upper side of IC. Post some photos from the inside, maybe we can be more helpful.

I'll try to post a pic tonight. There are 0 component markings on the pcb. No components have any labels. All ICs are socketed.
As lolbou stated I think the only way to do is to get datasheets of each IC and see where the power is going
