Output Transformer impedance for 6v6gt push pull
« on: October 07, 2016, 08:38:19 pm »
If i am correct, in a push pull amplifier you connect the two plates to the 8k primary and the center tap goes to b+. I need to know the impedance of the line you connect to the grids (or screens, pin 4) of the 6v6s. If im to vague i can send a picture of my schematic.

Basic connection is screens to B+, sometimes a drop-filtered B+ from the main B+.

UltraLinear connects screens to taps on the OT windings. While there must be an impedance around here, we usually just specify the winding ratio percent.

If you found some other plan, better show it.

Fender used a 470Ω/1W resistor in the blackface push/pull 6V6 amps. He connected screens directly to B+ in the earlier tweed and brown amps.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
