Grounding diodes on tubes
« on: November 18, 2021, 07:21:44 pm »
6AV6 and 6SQ7 are the tubes, both will be in a V1 position.
When not utilizing the diodes. Do you ground them by themselves? Or strap them to the cathode?

Ignore them. Pretend they are not there.

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