The Amp Garage

I got it fired up and Working!!!!! Thanks for the help, I checked the readings on the resistors and had those few wired up wrong. Its wicked loud now!!!

Changed the resistor today to a 470 ohms. Fired it up and its STILL not as loud as it should be. it did make a little difference. Any ideas?

These might help narrow down the cause of the issue: -How low is the volume? Still loud enough to play over a drummer, or little 1W amp loud? -Have you checked that all of your joints are good? I like a trick I learned here that involves working on the amp with all the caps drained and removing all...

Like I said it was a suggestion I saw on another forum which was bad information. If I removed the capacitor completely would that increase the volume?

I Did try to switch it out but it actually lowered the volume so that makes sense. Any help would be great! I know I'm close just defiantly a novice, but I enjoy the challenge!

This is my second build ever and at no point do I claim that I know what I'm doing. That being said I was able to wire everything up and the amp fired up. When I turned the volume up I noticed that it is not loud at all. I found a few forums stating the capacitor at V3 should be 470 ohms. I put in a...
