Hello all,
Like many here, I've just finished assembling and soldering my Crack Amp (Stock).
During the voltage check, I noticed a few voltages outside the tolerance as written in the manual. See values below.
But first, my Powerline Voltage Test gave me a voltage of 134-137V AC, so I configured my transformer per page 25 "Voltage greater than 115V AC and less than 130V AC", since, well no other option.
I am using the Crack 1.1 Manual (09-20-16) and I am located in Los Angeles, California.
I am also using the BH Power Cord Kit.
All resistances are within tolerance per page 47.
Both halves of each tube (6080 and 12AU7) glow during glow test and both LEDs light up.
T1 - 99V
T2 -
213V (outside 10% of 170V requirement, i.e. 187V)
T3 - 0V
T4 -
213V (outside 10% of 170V requirement, i.e. 187V)
T5 - 103V (within 10% of 100V requirement, i.e. 110V)
T6 - 0V
T7 - 125V (barely within 10% of 115V requirement, i.e. 126.5V)
T8 - 0V
T9 -
130V (outside 10% of 115V requirement, i.e. 126.5V)
T10 - 0V
I've seen the following 2 threads, but it wasn't quite like my readings.
