Exactly what I was thinking... gonna go look through the "Editable D-style Schematics" to see if he already did it.drew wrote:Put 10thTx on the case. Man dreams in ExpressSCH.

Curious to see and hear what you're after now.

Nice work! Thank you. BTW, my original amp build on this circuit is still out on tour going strong.larsvictor wrote: long rainy sunday afternoon...

Re: My take on an SSS
Lars,
Would you please add your schematic (editable SCH) to the editable D-style thread in the Dumble files:
http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 9&start=30
With respect, 10thtx

Re: My take on an SSS
Schematics from Lars have been edited and reposted...
You might want to grab the latest copy.
Thanks again Lars!

Hi Lars, I noticed the schematic is missing the lnfb on v2a which the layout haslarsvictor wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2016 9:46 pm long rainy sunday afternoon...

Also the filter looks different from #002, where the .02uf ground meets the 820k
Which is the correct way?

Re: My take on an SSS
Nice work mhartman. Not picking on you below because you followed Howard's design.
Shouldn't the negative voltage at the cathode of the CF between the PI and output tubes have at least three times the negative bias voltage for proper class AB2 operation? I know another power supply would need to be made, but for an amp of this magnatude wouldn't it be worth it?
Also for reliability. That much voltage from plate to cathode is over stressing that CF tube. A full wave, well filtered, low impedance power supply just for that tube would be much more optimal with only 320V, or so, across it. About +160V above ground and -160V below ground. This would also be more ideal for class AB2 operation. Easily obtainable from a small 120V-0-120V power tranny and a bipolar power supply with Pi filters. Or, better yet, a custom power tranny with a 120V-0-120V winding.

Re: My take on an SSS
Hey y'all,
I was trying to figure this out without resurrecting this old thread but I think I have reached the pinnacle of my own confusion.
The issue is the Local Negative Feedback Loops being somewhat different from the layout compared to the schematic. Here's a break down of the schematic:
V1 (EQ & Filter circuits)
A - three-way switch using 4.7M with .047uF
B - three-way switch using 10M with .047uF
V2 (A. Reverb Send and B. Reverb Return)
A - none
B - none
V3 (Reverb Driver)
A&B - 4.7M with .047uF
V4 (A. Dry and B. Reverb Mixer)
A - 22M with .047uF
B - 22M with .1uF
When you compare these Local Negative Feedback Loops to the layout, there are a few discrepancies (*denotes the discrepancies):
V1 (EQ & Filter circuits)
A - three-way switch using 4.7M with .047uF
B - three-way switch using 10M with .047uF
V2 (A. Reverb Send and B. Reverb Return)
A - 10M with .01uF* (there is no loop whatsoever in the schematic)
B - none
V3 (Reverb Driver)
A&B - 4.7M with .047uF
V4 (A. Dry and B. Reverb Mixer)
A - 22M with .047uF
B - 22M with .01uF* (the schematic calls for a .1uF instead of a .01uF like the layout/photo)
Now when I look at the photos of the completed build, it appears that the layout is the accurate spec and the schematic is not; the schematic was made without the amplifier on hand. I would assume there would be more component value mistakes on the schematic than the layout because of this.
Any direction would be appreciated as I think other forum members might benefit from this being brought to their attention. As always, thank you Mike and all so much for such an incredible resource for info about these circuits; we'd all be by ourselves trying to figure it out if it weren't for Amp Garage.

Hi,
Thanks to everyone who reviewed the schematics. I tried to fix all the errors you mentioned.
The current versions are here and in the "editable D-style schematics" -section.
Thanks
Lars
