SPST switch for stanby?
« on: October 05, 2019, 10:58:49 am »
Hi, can I use a SPST switch instead of the DPDT switch for the 600v standby?I was thinking just stick it right off the rectifier unless that would blow the diodes?

Thinking I should just get the proper switch, but this is what came with my kit.

Yes. Fender has done it for thousands of years.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
