Re: 50W OTS bias setting

Post by oldpicker »

I bought the trannys for the Ceriatone OTS 50 Watt from Mercury throug Nik at Ceriatone . Vi=pin 1,194;pin6 202;V2=pin1202;pin6 208;V3=pin 1,305;pin6,311.; Is this ballpark close. I was comparing to other new builds I found at ceriatone forum but I don't know their long term results or tonal qualities. My amp seems very dynamic for lack of a better term and very pick responsive. It really smoothed out after about 20 hours. I just want it to be depenable for the long haul.

Thanks again
Dennis

near perfect - you may get a frog hair more clean head room if you drop the V3 voltages by 5 or so but it would be so minuscule it's probably not worth doing.

Thanks heisthl;
As a newbie to amps, I really appreciate the contributions you and so many others have made to this forum. Although my amp started as a ceriatone kit, it has taken several twists due to this forum. I definitley would not have as smooth a tone without you guys input.

p.s A redplate amp is on my short list :lol:

Here then is a snapshot (as promised) of the OTS with the aluminum trim added.
Thank you all for your help.
