Darwin award for Amp builder? Aka fixed the Peavey

Post by Bob-I »

I have to remember to measure EVERY resistor, even if the package is marked correctly. 470K screen resistors don't work :oops:

So here's 2 more clips, first a demo of the ECL86 reverb, just guitar and amp at first the reverb was on about #4 then about #8.

Then the jam again, only with the RIGHT screen resistors, much better. Note that the backing guitar is not me or my amp, it's a canned backing track.

I also found that the output xformer primaries were interfering with each other so I seperated them and moved the B+ line away. Much more volume and better balance between the 2 sides of the wave.
