6G3 Capacitor Question

[dwinstonwood]

Wow!

I owe a debt of such enormity to you all, that I could never repay it.

Thank you Doug for this great forum and parts store; sluckey for your patience and expertise; bmccowan for your moral support; shooter for keeping it stress-free, 66Strat, pdf64, and everyone else who contributed/participated in this project!

I'm sitting here with a dead quiet, perfectly functioning 6G3. And, it sounds unreal. I went with the Warehouse G12C/S and it's perfect (I didn't want a super bright sound). It took about six weeks to get the cabinet made, but it was worth the wait. I can highly recommend Mather Cabinets.

I just finished building a BYOC Classic OD kit, but I just want to play through it straight for awhile. It sounds too good.

Thank you everyone!

I've learned a few more things here on the forum (thanks in particular sluckey) since I built this amp. I thought I'd look back inside this one for any questionable soldering, or any wire runs, etc. that could be improved. There were some places where I rushed a bit.

One area where I make mistakes is with grounding. So, my question is, should the tremolo circuit be grounded with the preamp and input, or at the power ground? Or, does it matter? I've circled the ground wire in question below.

Thanks again for all the help!

Look at the schematic and determine which B+ node filter cap supplies the plate of the trem oscillator. Now connect the trem circuit ground to the same place that node cap is grounded.

So, the answer is usually there if I just look in the right place.

Seriously, your answer is better than the one I asked for sluckey. Now I can see where the ground should connect.  Thanks again.
