5f2 build- 2 inputs?
« on: July 25, 2020, 12:42:04 pm »
Hi there!
I’m brand new here and am building the 5F2a for my first amp build.  My question is, in the layout it only shows a single input, but I’d like a dual input like an original 5F2a.  It does show it on the schematic but I don’t understand it as it’s shown as an option and I’m still trying to learn the schematic language.  I kinda need it in layout language for now.  Can anyone help??   

Here’s a photo of what I have so far.

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