6.3 v outside of the chassis
« on: June 14, 2019, 08:55:24 pm »
I am going to try to add a backlit name-badge on this latest build. Ala- Matchless, Badcat, Morgan,etc.
My plan was to take a connection from my terminal strip inside and instead of going to my usual Fender style indicator just going through a grommet hole in the chassis. My question is whether it is that simple or if there is a better approach. Anything I should look out for that might cause additional noise in my build?

Just tap into your regular filament string at some convenient place near the PT or power tubes. It'll be fine.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
