18 Watt PI
« on: January 28, 2011, 01:05:35 am »
The phase inverter is fed from one side with the normal channel and the trem channel feeds the other. What's going on with the phase inverter if you're only playing through the normal channel and the trem channel is down, cap to ground, or up, cap to 500k to ground? If you were to build one with only the normal channel would you just ground that cap(C18)?

The LTP PI is a differential amplifier. It amplifies the difference between the two grid inputs. If you build one with only the normal channel you would just ground that cap(C18).
 

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
