Title: I Think I’ve Made A Grave Error
Post by: imgumby001 on December 19, 2020, 10:48:31 am

On my latest build I just realized I hooked up both the 5ohm and 7ohm taps from my output transformer instead of the B+. I didn’t even realize it until I was playing, it sounded bad, and I came in to see what was wrong. Did I just kill this ot? It was working, but not well. Feeling pretty dumb...

Hook it up properly and see what happens.
