Epiphone Regent (ea-16rvt) schematic question
« on: June 28, 2023, 11:49:50 am »
Greetings amp folks- can someone help with a quick schematic question?  Looking at the 20uf filter capacitors (c22-c25) for this Epiphone ea16rvt (see below), is the center tap the negative side for all of these caps?

No. The center tap is the common ground. C22A, C22B, C24A, and C24B negative side will connect to the center tap. But, C23 and C25 ***POSITIVE*** side will connect to the center tap.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
