Voltage chart

Post by On 18 »

Hi. Is there a voltage chart for the 18w TMB layout, the one that says "Derived from Richie's schematics?"

On this layout the ground buss seems to have it's own grounding point, but other layouts I have seen, the grounding is connected to 16uF/475v cap and from there to the star ground. Is that ok?

It's better if the preamp and power sections are not connected to the same ground. Amps simply should not run everything to a star ground. For an example of how I separate my grounds, take a look at the Lite 2 and EF86 Lite drawings I did in the download section. There's still a star ground, but not everything goes there.

For the voltage chart, use the regular chart, but ignore the trem channel numbers. You can post your voltages here if you're concerned about anything.

Thanks,
Josh
