How to protect OT in an SE amp ?
« on: May 29, 2024, 04:39:02 pm »
In an SE amp is possible to protect the OT simply using a fuse in series with B+ ?

Will it be a sufficiently efficient method ?

Thanks

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

Theory is when everyone knows everything but nothing works, practice is when stuff works but nobody knows why !!!

Introducing HT fusing to valve guitar amps, and orienting the chassis so that the valves point up, are Marshall's greatest contributions to amp design  :icon_biggrin:
