Did you measure the voltage across the cathode resistor? R29 was 220ohm in early runs but changed to 510ohms cuz tubes were being run at 15w
@bennyvrads29 күн бұрын
The cathode resistor in my Tweager is burning, an there is no sound comming out of the amp. I can't see wich resistant it had since the script is burnt away. Have you got any idea, what can cause that? The tubes are JJ 6V6S.

when I hear that + no sound, I think either bad transformer or bad ground somewhere and start by checking those was it humming before the repair? or no noise/no sound before and now = hum/no sound? check all the grounds i hate to say it (cuz I'm the same way), but your time is valuable... you can get these for ~$300 now all day long - if it takes more than a few hours AND you really want THAT amp, buy a used one (and if you sell yours as, "not working" please describe what you've attempted in your listing to help the next guy!!!! could be me?) good luck!!!

Hi. Thanks for the video. I have a question. I’m building a variable speed controller for a dc treadmill motor. I want a DPDT rotary switch to select between forward and reverse. I found some nice rotary switches called 2NO 2NC . It seems like that’s what I want but not sure. I also have little indicator lights that I want to come on depending on the selection. Green for forward and red for reverse. Will these switches work and how would I wire them? eBay switchtools 19-22 mm 2/3 position selector. Thanks, Paul

@sharpmerciful787 Жыл бұрын
Nevermind. I got the help I needed and figured it out. If you're not doing a crossover, which is not my case, all you have to do is put all the positive wires on one side, all the negative wires on one side, and that's pretty much. Say for example you have a 3s 18650 battery pack with BMS for a DIY induction heater. On the BMS, you have a -ve output and +ve output. So say for example you need to power a blue LED and you only want the blue LED to turn on when the slide switch goes to the other side, or battery powered mode. Two negative wires and one positive wire on the BMS from those -ve and +ve outputs. One negative goes to the NC, or NO terminal on the slide switch. The other goes to the negative of the blue LED. The positive wire also goes to the NC, or NO terminal, on that same side. On the COM terminals, you have a negative and a positive wire. Those go to a MOSFET module, and the MOSFET module powers all the other components of the induction heater. But on the COM terminal where the positive is, you have another positive wire which goes to a 20K ohm resistor for the blue LED. On the other side of the slide switch on NC or NO, you can attach the positive and negative wires from a DC power jack like a 12v one or a 1a 30v one. So the way it works is you have the induction heater powered by DC input, battery powered, or off (On-Off-On). And that's pretty much it. Basically, just have all the positives and negatives on one side. You can have multiple wires on the BMS from the -ve or +ve outputs or from the COM terminals of the slide switch to power other things such as a blue LED or supply power to the MOSFET module to power the other components.

I've got the later Rage 258 version which I have moded to be a head and I was pleasantly surprised they have fixed the chassis issues in that iteration. It mounts in a more conventional way and not through the bottom of the chassis and the handle was attached to the wood only, as it is supposed to be. Fine little amp through a good speaker. I've got a question which you might be able to answer: I'd really like to add a footswitch to the amp. ...of course doing it the proper way with a relay instead of routing signal-carrying wires outside. For a relay I need DC power. I've dug up the schematics (feel free to do so, I found it on google image search) and there are actually quite a few voltages doing their thing in the amp and I can't decide which one to use. Currently leaning towards the 3 volts because 3v relays are easy to get and I'd rather see three volts going to a footswitch than 18. And three volts are much LED-friendlier than higher voltages. Does that sound like a good idea? I can solder decently and have built quite a few pedal kits over the years but I don't have a ton of electronics voltage. My main concern is that I don't want to mess with any bias voltage for the opamps/transistors. Thanks!

Informative video, thanks! I think they seem to be known to be faulty. I have a similar issue with mine, the input has to be wiggled to actually produce more sound than static or buzzing. Not sure I'm comfortable opening it up, yet. I was curious and glad I found your video for once I jump the fence. I had an odd feeling about the handle, totally make sense. I will probably end up 3D printing my own spools as a precaution as I've got a printer. I know I can buy a newer, better amp but it'd be nice to be able to fix or at least attempt it. Thanks again for the video!

The reason I don't is because once you've got your trace cuts mapped out you can make your board cuts relative to those instead of counting the entire length and width of the board. Seems like a small thing but this whole process can be long and tedious so anything to make it more efficient helps.

I recommend replacing all capacitors, red, green and black, with Epcos, Wima. The ones installed are very bad, they dry out over time, their capacity is greatly reduced. I even replaced ceramics with Murata. The sound became bright and transparent, especially with JJ lamps. Check the contact + of the capacitor, after drilling, current flows to it, you could drill through the plating, check resistor R28-29.

Did you ever solve this mystery? My Tweaker 15 is still on the garage workbench after a year. I only fool with it once in a while, but still no luck. I have other amps to play through, but I love the tones i can get with this guy. Before covid I used to play thru it at house parties and jam sessions. I put it on a tall barstool next to me for quick tweaks between songs. Yeah, wide range of rich tones and distortion levels at my fingertips. The speaker will be as far across the room as safely possible (without the cable tripping anyone) so I hear what everybody else hears and can therefore keep appropriate volume levels. A very nice set up that I want back!
