Ampeg B15s oscillation problem
« on: March 28, 2023, 01:21:38 pm »
I have Ampeg B15s amp that I recapped and can get great signal up to output tubes 7027 but has oscillation at full volume with nothing on input. Anyone out there that can assist me with problem?

NFB loop backwards?
A bus stops at a bus station. A train stops at a train station. On my desk, I have a work station.

Gridstopper at V1? Resistor to ground at grid of V1?

Are the shorting contacts on the input socket functioning correctly, ie shorting the input stage grid to ground when nothing is plugged in?
Is this the correct schematic for the amp in question? https://el34world.com/charts/Schematics/files/Ampeg/Ampeg_b15s_revd.pdf
