Hey guys

Is it all right to put the standby switch on the HT center tap when using a half wave SS rectifier and fixed bias amp (6V6GT)
It's the intention to add a bias vary trem on the 6V6's...

thanks

Standby, is really a controverse matter

However to place it on the CT isn't the best choice, a tech can have problems during manutention

better a mute switch

Yes, but depending on how a bias supply is derived, the voltage on the bias caps may rise.

It's unusual to use half wave rectification for HT supplies. With a centre tapped HT winding, you can splash out on an extra diode for a push pull (2 phase), full wave rectification

You have a half wave SS rectifier with a HT center tap? I've never seen one. Bet you really mean a ss conventional full wave rectifier.

Yes I meant the full wave conventional.. sorry😬

The wide Panel tweeds ('5Dthis' and the '5Dthat') had standby switches on the CT of the High Tension winding and then Fender stopped this practice.

But then 'Fender' put it back on the Eric Tremolux. So ...

I've used it with 5U4 rectifiers and had no problems. YMMV

I finished the schematic. Might be some tweaking involved at the bias, but this should work.. I think.
BTW, I put the standby switch after the rectifier...

The paraphase seems wrong. The 270K gridleak on the non-inverting path should be grounded? Seems like positive FB at that 4 wire node connected as shown.

I guess it's kind of confusing, but it's a LTP PI. Look at the green marking balloons.. they connect to the power tubes...
I borrowed that part of the schematic from Sluckey's Deluxe Reverb Lite

I think it’s a version of floating paraphase, ie that node is a virtual earth http://www.valvewizard.co.uk/paraphase.html

The 6G3 Brown Deluxe Also has this type of PI. I thought this was a LTP PI... well, learning things here...

Yes, you’re using an LTP.
We’re discussing the 5D4 phase splitter, sorry I meant to make that clear

It is a floating paraphase. It is self balancing. See figure 12.31 in the attached.
