P/P plate driven issue
« on: March 24, 2013, 12:43:53 pm »
Hi, I have built a Marshall 2204 master volume amplifier and I skipped the tone stack, feeding the PI right from the first half of the cathode follower tube plate.
I think I missed something because the overall volume is weak. without life.

Thanks

Colas

Get some RG-316 for your shielded cable needs. Probably never have that problem again, especially if it was because of a melted center conductor insulation.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
