Some reading advice before starting build?

Post by dragonbat13 »

I have finally gotten just about everything I need to build my tweaked, 50 watt, bassman iron Dlite.

I have Merlin Blencowes book at work that I can read on my time off. Its the preamp book. Any sections I should study while waiting to go home in a week when I start my build?

Its the only book I have access to right now. Figured it couldnt hurt to ask.

Thanks.

I'd focus on the heater info, and the power supply stuff he covers briefly, so you get how to wire all that up. Oh also his grounding section really helps make sure you design your grounding scheme to avoid loops etc.
