Power transformer couple wires question

Post by Mikante »

Hi guys,
This is my first post. I haven t found any presentation section. I m no expert so i will be here mostly to get from you. I m honest :D
I have recently modified my little tube amp, it s a fender champ 600. It was the first time for me to put hands on a tube amp. I just had some knowledge about building pedals, mostly fuzz and booster effects. I first learnt how to work safely on it and then i did the modifications. I wanted it to sound more tweed like and it was a very simple process, for the most i was just removing components and putting jumper wires where needed.
The mod was a success and the amp sounded just perfect. Then i decided to do a last modification and replaced the feedback loop resistor with a switch but here comes my mistake.
I forgot to mark the two couple of wires of the power transformer, to be precise the red and green pairs. On the pcb board the pins are labeled but the wires are not.
How can i understand now?

Refer to schematic... https://el34world.com/charts/Schematics ... manual.pdf

The red wires go to J13 and J14. The green wires go to J9 and J10.

Hello.
Are you telling me there is no difference between the two of the same colour?
I mean, one of the two red wires can either go to j13 and j14, same goes for the green pair?
Thank you.
