The Amp Garage

Pre amp is fine running through other amp. Problem is in the power stage. I'll recheck my connections. And test some more. Thanks for helping me narrow it down.

I have another working build, could I hook the "pre amp out " from that to the power amp input of my defunct amp for testing purposes?

I don't have a scope anymore, but I agree this might be best diagnosed with one. I'll double check my connections too. Thanks

I'm having a strange issue with low volume in a 183 d style build and was hoping someone might have some insight. Basically all my controls work as they should but the volume level at Max volume is low, like 2-3 in loudness. Channels switch, and the issue is the same wether in clean or drive. Tried ...

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Thanks Tom, my set up is like the "bottom Left diagram", except I have paralleled two caps before putting them in series.

"I didn't mean that to sound condescending" Tony, not interpreted as condescending at all, we're cool, thank you for that explanation , makes sense. Grtamp, I have a standard filter set up, I have two 100uf caps UNDER (on the opposite side of the filter board) the two in the picture. So I have two p...

470ohms, yes, sorry. I do not wish to accomplish anything in particular, just have it sound the best that it can and be "right". There are some that say there is no audible difference between 1K and 470, and others who say there certainly is. In the end Ill have to try for myself because In the end ...

Thanks! Good eye, that is Ampeg cloth I had laying around from an older project. The zener schemo is in this thread: http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2818&start=0 I wasnt sure where I should put them, but I wound up placing them on the rectifier board, and copying the MM schemo for the res...
