Title: Second Guessing? Check My Work
Post by: AHeck on December 11, 2020, 12:38:28 pm
I recently had a friend ask me to build him a Voxish amp at around 10W.  He didn稚 want reverb or tremolo.  Soooo, I took the Normal input from an AC15 (pentode) and applied a few tweaks, and got this.  If anyone has time to let me know of any glaring mistakes, that壇 be glorious.  I do have this set up on my prototype board and it sounds wonderful, I知 just making sure I知 not overdoing anything or stressing components.  I can include transformer and choke models and voltages at your request.

No voltage ! How can we help you ?

Best is to show a schematic, not layout.

I guess your master is really a dual pot?

Here's a glaring mistake...

Yessir, did not have an option given for a dual pot, so I did the best I could

Sure is, and exactly the kinda extra set of eyes proofreading I needed.  Thank you very much.

You are so right, and I'm working on that now.  I needed the layout first though to order a board, Fix obvious mistakes with the layout of the turrets and then move on to value issues.  like I said, it works, I just need to make sure it will translate from the form it is in now to a compact and more organized layout in a chassis.  Thanks very much and I'll have that soon.
