As good as a bakelite cab can get!
:shock:

Sounds passable as a portable unit.
The real test is running it through a decent cab.
She shines for that test, so I can't ask for much more.

Scored another great RCA tabletop to work with today.
To go with the two Zeniths I have on the back burner.
Stackables!

Get used to wearing one of these and getting shocked by your amp won't seem so bad.

Shock

Post by islandamp »

Don't know if you found your shock problem or not, but, I have a one spot also, and noticed that it has both plug leads the same size. In other words, you can plug it in upside down or out of phase with your amp, no problem. I pushed mine in to the wall socket one night, assuming that it was a polarized plug, grabbed my guitar, touched the od pedal with my bare foot and got a shock. I always make sure the writing is facing up towards the roof on my one spot now.

Yes I got it sorted out.
I had a floating ground on the DC side.
It has a 3-prong cord properly installed, as this was a new build into an old box.

Yes I fried that old output transformer along the way.

Put in another, cleaned things up, fine tuned and life is grand.

Appreciate all the help!
