1st stage grid stopper question
« on: April 01, 2021, 06:26:32 am »
In my latest build, I used a more-or-less straight up plexi V1, but instead of 2 or 4 input jacks (externally jumped), I used only one. I've got a single 33k going from input to BOTH pin 2 and 7.


Should I be jumping pins 2 and 7 with another 33k? One 68k for both? Fine as it is?

I used two 68Ks. You are fine as is.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
