Ah, you are probably right about that being the trem speed. My mistake. I didn't look too closely and thought it might be a TMB layout or something.jlee69 wrote: ↑Mon 10/14/19 5:14 pmHi Colossal,
The yellow wire in the layout going back to the trem speed pot is from the footswitch, not speaker jack. Are you sure this is NFB?
If i just remove and cap the yellow/white, am i still underpowering? i think that pin4 is getting 6.3V from the yellow attached to it.
I did swap the ot leads and the squeal stopped, but now just alot of noise but i am getting closer with your help.
On the rectifier tap, no, you just want to use the tap that is suited for your rectifier. In this case use the 6.3VAC and 0VAC taps. Then heatshrink the end of the 5VAC tap and zip tie it back or terminate it somewhere safe.
That's good you got the OT leads oriented correctly. As Josh said, now it's time to clean up your ground scheme. Carefully check each turret for a good soldered connection while you are hard at it.
