Title: Is there a schematic diagram with Voltages and pins on it
Post by: vadimzh on January 09, 2022, 10:53:03 AM

Really enjoy my kit. Thank you.

It would be tremendously helpful if one can use a schematic diagram that has voltages(voltage ranges) right there on the diagram and may be pin numbers as well. This way one can easily read and find parts and extend them with more components or replace components. Has anyone created by chance such a diagram? I am in US, so would need it with respect to 110V-120V incoming.

The schematic is available in the manual and you could certainly print a copy and write voltages on it.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for here.  All the parts in the kit have values printed on them except the LEDs, and we specify what those are in the manual.

Before I build any of these excellent kits I first go through the manual in detail and markup a printed copy of the supplied schematic with the terminal numbers.  This does two things for me: 1) I get a chance to review the build before I turn on the soldering iron; 2) I may find potential problems or typos and can get any questions answered upfront should I foresee any "snags" in my way.  I have built amplifiers which did not have anywhere near the detailed instructions with excellent pictures that Bottlehead provides.  For those I depended on my ability to thoroughly understand the circuit schematic.
Maybe this approach can help you during your build.
Good luck and have fun!
