Re: Fucking piss me off
Toymaker , Why dont you run this idea about inrush current limiters by Bob or Jordan see how they feel about its usage in the primary winding of the power transformer.

Re: Fucking piss me off
Glad you are up and running Harry! I look forward to finally getting to hear mine soon.
In reality, it only matters what it sounds like to YOU!!!
Re: Fucking piss me off
Hope you electronic tube-o-philes solve this.
The only thing I understand is the change out of the slo-blo fuse.
Will have two more amps to pick up this weekend.
Sounds like another edit to the build schematic may be forthcoming.

Re: Fucking piss me off
Harry, seems to be that the people that are having problems are the ones that did not install a on/off switch & are plugging & unplugging their amps!!! I installed a switch & have not had any problems so far? just a thought as maybe that is causing this? with a switch installed wouldnt the fused socket have power all the time up to the switch? just my .02

Al, I thought George had installed a switch on his amp and he is having this problem. George am I right about this?

Re: Fucking piss me off
Harry, I dont think george did, but I could be wrong, see what he says! just think the switch is a good idea to do! bob even had a few blow fuses when he was testing them & pulling the plug in & out if Im not mistaken!

nope-- no switch
Re: Fucking piss me off
then thats the first thing I would do!! would prevent that sudden surge through the outlet fuse maybe? worth a try, dont cost much to give it a shot!!
