Hi all and happy spring!
I've been here before with this project but this a new issue. The schematic and layout diagram are attached. This is a reverb unit using a capacitor-driven tank as per Ampeg. I got it nearly done but for a nasty little buzz which happened when the reverb was engaged or not. The original schematic and tank call for amp grounding for both the input and output jacks which I did. Those are grounded on an aluminum chassis right where you see them in the lower right of the layout diagram. The other signal grounds are on a bus wire behind the pots.
I've got a little gizmo that has a 0.1, 630v cap triple shrink-wrapped on one end and an alligator clip on the other -- very handy for isolating unwanted noises. When I put it on the grid of the 12AX7 recovery triode it eliminates the buzz with no effect on the sound in either reverb or bypass mode. I tried it with smaller caps and the bigger one worked best. Everything else works fine.
A practical man would hang a suppression cap on the pin and call it Miller time. Me; I'd like to know what happened. On some schematics the voltage divider at the tank output/grid/ground is different but that wouldn't (shouldn't?) affect the dry sound. Any ideas? Thanks, Skip
