Why 3.3uf? Halfway cold clipper kinda thingy?
Question about the non using the fx loop..for now..it looks like there are parallel solder terminals to the 68k terminals. I guess I have to put a jumper wire in there.. correct?

For more bottom end.
It might be fine, but technically the shields should not be sharing the preamp grounds. Shields are supposed to have their own connection to ground.Bieworm wrote: ↑Sat 04/03/21 2:52 pmHere is some progress.. did some more power amp wiring. And I put a ground buss at the pots. It makes it easier on wiring the shields of shielded wires. I always find it hard to add the shielded wires at the pots... mostly because I already soldered the grounds and have to add the shields afterwards..
Ah crap yeah!!! And a pretty significant one too.. sighJMPGuitars wrote: ↑Sat 04/03/21 4:10 pmI just noticed... one of your outer foils is facing the wrong way.
Might not make a difference, depends where it's located in the circuit. The purpose of caps generally is to conduct AC signal from one end to the other with as little impediment as possible. On that basis, if the cap acts like an AC short, it doesn't matter which end is the foil.Bieworm wrote: ↑Sat 04/03/21 5:21 pmAh crap yeah!!!

Sounds great, I love the tremolo!!Bieworm wrote: ↑Mon 04/05/21 8:56 amDamn... it's finished. Voltages are on the high side, but wall voltage is extremely high at the moment, so I will have to wait before I zener this one down.
All in all pretty in the same ballpark, so I decided to light it up. Biased at 83%, so is this safe? It says 24.8W/ tube ... on a 36W OT???. Man this sounds huuuuuge!!!!

Thx.. and the amp is dead quiet too.
