The resistor in question is the large peach-coloured one at the top left of the PCB. Even at this photo resolution you can see a brown patch at each end of it where the board has started to cook...

Or Google image search 'fender hotrod pcb' and look at the second pic, at studiorepair.com.
If you can't see it, just take the back off the amp, you'll easily find it - it's a large-ish pinky/peach-coloured resistor on the edge of the board just below the footswitch jack.

I hear that the big white relays are often dodgy too - is there a kit I can buy to get all the bits I need to do the job, or do you reckon I should just send it to a tech? @ICBM
I only want the clean channel anyway.
I'm guessing there's no simple way to do this. I imagine they're all linked together somehow
You can’t remove the low-voltage supply entirely since you need that for the reverb and FX loop.

Like I say - I'm not bothered about being able to switch channels, I just want the clean channel to be solid
