Here they are.
I wonder If I can use this to rebuild my abominable Korean Hiwatt?
Can the power section be reworked for el84?
They lowered the negative feed back resistor from 10k to 7k.

Re: California Hiwatt "Lead 30"
It could be that a better way to look at the phase splitter is like this.

Re: California Hiwatt "Lead 30"
It has a center tap. I tried 2 100 ohm resistors at one point instead. It helped with the hum but added hiss. I also tried diodes to lower the voltages. 2 X 10 watt .22 wirewound was the quieter route to go. The hum isn't really the biggest problem. The buzz is coming in at the input (a 102 cap to g...

Re: California Hiwatt "Lead 30"
Was the 470k resistor changed to 47k like on the Hiwatt ol? What I found too was ditching the efx loop completely improved things right away. Maybe this might work for the Hiwatt tone stack. But this amp has a really poor pcb design and that's a problem straight away along with the hardware setup.A ...

Re: California Hiwatt "Lead 30"
I'm not quite sure how to rebuild it so I would have to get the Oconnor book which might help if I go that route.Was it tough to rebuild at all? You know far more than I do. I did try a low gain version which actually was quite interesting. Have you seen the sa210 schematic?That could be an interest...

Re: California Hiwatt "Lead 30"
Fernandes put it out . I'm not surprised it didn't sound good. If you follow the board values the gain is too strong and you lose the note definition. It's interesting and packs a wallop at low level, but once you play on a better amp you realize the circuit is too much. That's probably why it was m...

Re: California Hiwatt "Lead 30"
It's not a lead 20 schematic it's a schematic for the Korean Custom 20 tube, an amp full of design errors.They were modded by Fernandez to try to solve the design goofs causing hum and buzz with 2 15k resistors on the cathodes.Turned up they are really noisy.Some also had low pass filters installed ...

Re: Hiwatt CS-30
Was it confirmed that this is the lead 20?
I originally posted the amp schematic.
If anyone would like more info on the amp
let me know.
The pcb version has a lot of problems.
