Title: Speedball (smaller boards) LED's very dim (SOLVED, NPF)
Post by: rmryan on April 30, 2015, 05:12:05 AM

Symptom: Both LED's on both of the smaller PCB do light up, but are very dim.  Initially I didn't think they were lighting up, but when I pulled the drapes and put on my magnifiers I can tell for sure they are lighting. The 4 LED's on the large board light up nicely.

Relevant info:

• All voltages consistent with Speedball manual
• Orientation of LEDs correct
• Solder joints are all there, and seem fine
• Correct transistors are in correct places
• The amp is working great, and sounds great, just listened for 2 straight hours

Now, someone tell me this is normal so I can go back to listening!   :o
