The Amp Garage

I've never built this pedal, but I have ordered 9 mm pots from mouser when I had space issues. I'm not talking about the green pcb mount pots. They have the terminal lugs just like the larger ones. I will look for the order numbers and post if you like.

Supposed to get 210V on the plate of V1a and I got 185.4 182V on the plate of V1b and I got 160.3V, 267 on the plate of V2 and I got 219V, 190V on V3a and I got 219, 193V on Plate of V3b and I got 165.2. I'm supposed to get 415 on the plates of both power tubes and I got 417V on each. My heaters com...

This is strange. Now 1 day later when I check the plate voltages. All of the preamp plate voltages are 22 to 30 volts less than what they are supposed to be. However the power tubes are right on at 415volts. Any suggestions now on what to do next?

Thanks

I have been struggling with how a phase inverter works. In my opinion, this article did the best job of helping me to understand the concept.

I hope it helps someone.

Thanks. I will give that a try.

Well it was too good to be true. I finished "Lucinda" one month ago and fired her up without any problems. The amp has been awesome. I turned it on 2 days ago and the amp had lost all of it's gain. It has about 20% of the gain it originally had. I checked the voltage on the plates, grids, cathodes, ...

I am fairly new to the forum and have done much more reading than posting, but I just finished my express clone (Lucinda) and I have to say thank you for having a forum like this to make is possible for someone like myself to build a wonderful amp like this. Lucinda sounds great. She goes from clean...

Thanks. I appreciate the info. I am trying to find a layout diagram. I am too much of a newbie to tell specifically which components are where from the pictures. But this stuff will help alot.

I was wondering if anyone had a layout for the Climax/New Joyzee amp. I am studying the schematic and wanted to see how the layout was designed. Thanks.

Ron,

What program did you use to draw this layout? It looks better than any thing I have seen.
