Good 5e3 build instructions?
« on: October 26, 2022, 10:42:00 am »
What would be the best resource for 5e3 build instructions? I've read that a lot are "wrong" as far as how they implement power switch wiring, speaker jack wiring, etc.

Look at your previous thread about 5E3. I made two suggestions with excellent instructions. But, the best instructions should be the ones that came with the kit you bought. And since you bought transformers from elsewhere you may have to adapt the instructions to match those transformers.

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