I barely understand load lines but this is incredible. the amount of tensor thoughts one must maintain while designing an amp is incredible. there are so many inter related concepts and they all have different operating ranges. have you ever examined a dumble ODS schematic (with listed voltages) to determine what his idea was for creating that strange gain behavior? thank you so much for posting this i will be rewatching it many many times as well as the other videos (ellipse for THD etc). Thanks so much!

Dear all , I have QSC RMX 2450 in that clip signal activating when signal input , and their is no any short in any components, changed (NE5532p op-amp ) but still same , channel 2 is working fine but channel 1 is having distortion with clip signal activated parallelly, i requesting all to support this issue,,

hi,i made a single end audio with 6sl7 and kt66 ,when i measure the clipping on my scope ,i see negative portion of the sinus arrives before positive clipping its not in the same time ,is it normal with this asymetrical conception single ended ! i precise that i make test clipping on the dummy load , thanks

I cannot find a good description of why it is called "long tail." Is it called "long tail" because that path is like a tail and with too resistors instead of one it looks longer?

The 3rd harmonic is the only musical odd order, which the ear treats much the same way as H2 in that it tends to be innocuous. FWIW, a properly functioning analog tape machine makes a dominant H3 also, which is why studios often retain them- no-one seems to argue with the 'sound' of tape. If the amplifier design is fully balanced and/or differential, if the operating points are correct then the 3rd will be dominant, and open loop will not seem audible to the ear.

I assume that you are using the term "ultra-linear" meaning that the input signal is limited so as to not drive the tube into it's non-linear regions (near cutoff and near saturation)? Having nothing to do with an ultra-linear output transformer (as developed by David Hafler and Herb Keroes who started Acrosound ) having screen grid taps so that a pentode ( or beam power tube) is operated some where in between pentode and triode? Thank you.

Great video, thanks for posting this. An additional issue is, you can't be sure what your buying and from who. Your favorite distributor sells you their parts and you assume (hope) they are what they say: JJ, Tun-Sol, EH, etc. But do the supply houses even know what they are buying? Do they care? Tubes are not not cheap anymore, we need to know more detail regarding the origin of the parts we buy. A distributor should be proud to advertise their tube are guaranteed to be made in xyz and can prove it. Fakes are everywhere.

Awesome video! I shows I still have a lot to learn haha. Im new to the world of transformers (and guitar amp building). I'm taking a crack at building a small Vibro-Champ. After it's built and works as expected, I plan to build a replacement output transformer for it... then hopefully a power transformer, all for learning purposes. Where do you get supplies for something like this, and do you know of any readily available resources for amp transformer designs (ie. wire gauge, bobbin dimensions, laminations, ratios, etc.)?

Excellent and extremely useful educated info into hum of tube amps. A question please. I have a class A SE UL stereo amp I am designing that has a NFB from speaker 16Ω tap to the 12AX7 preamp cathode. I get a light hum that peaks at 100Hz and 150Hz acoustically analysed. If I input 1000Hz I see the envelope of the output modulated possibly by this hum. If I do your nice advice I will probably have two signals added at the cathode of 12AX7 (one is NFB and the other fro R hum resistor). Will that work? I will certainly try but is it possible?

Great playlist. Could you verify that you mean micro Farad even when you use the milli abreviation as in mF? After all you talk about mu as in μ. e.g. 100μF read as 100 mu Farad compared to 100 mF also read as mu Farad although SI-convention in metric is milli Farad for mF and microFarad for μF.

Hello, I have a Fender Vibrolux Reverb Custom in which I removed the circuit board and replaced it with a eyelet board just like they did back in the day. I didnt have any problem for some time and I started to get a squel at times and buzzing and then disappear. I did notice that it followed from the normal channel to the vibrato channel and then I removed the Phase inverter tube and replaced it with another tube. It was gone. I had a old RCA nos tube in the PI socket. thanks for your video......

Youll not find any " UL". or other certificates on these Communist Chinese manufactured devices. China does not care. It mimicks, copies snd plagiarizes everything the West or the industrialized East produces. I have the identical variac, and from almost day one outlets fractured, fuses were blowing, and there was substandard quality for such an important device. These items are a clear and present danger to ones health. Thanks for the expose' this will save lives.

@deepblueharp

I will share some general information because I don't have a photo of you chassis. If you still have hum, the top issue is generally wiring. The wiring must be absolutely neat. If you look at a Fender Deluxe, you will notice all the wires are no longer than required to connect between 2 points. There must be NO EXCESS wire. Excess wire acts like an antenna to pick up noise from the B+ or Heater wires. All the wiring needs to be laid flat against the metal chassis so the chassis can absorb and ground out any interference that is causing the hum. If a wire needs to cross another wire it must cross at a 90 degree angle. Also, do not run any wire along the side of a component (cap, resistor, etc.) Wire must cross over the component at a right angle or not at all. Wiring at a socket or a pot is a challenge because that last inch at the lugs requires running wires in parallel. (UGH), but just 1/8 inch of separation can make the world of difference. Tube amp wiring is challenging.

Sir this was confusing me a lot, so there is no simlpe formula, to find wire temprature, unless we get them expermentally, but now we can aproximate all by saying for example,the energy in,I*V, Which is dependent on the resistance of the wire, determines the temprature of the wire, assuming all other things are keept the same for identical wires( nichrome 80 or 60) of different length and diameter( eg 0.9mm and 0.7mm) Thanks you for the best explanation and insights

Metal is a sponge that soaks up heat. Therefore the calcs must be done over time to get how much heat is soaked up between each time interval. Wire temp is not a single calculation like converting degrees F to C. The graph I show is required because air "boils" on the surface of very hot wire. As the wire heats, more air boils faster.

If you're boosting 15kHz by 17dB and 10kHz by 15dB then maybe they should have put a tweeter where the Bose logo is. An Eminence APT80 would do nicely. What's particularly worrying is the 14dB boost at 60Hz. It's a good way to get speakers making farting noises as you turn up the volume.

Would the same steps apply to trying to diagnose 180Hz hum? Not entirely sure where it is coming from, but it is present with all knobs at minimum and nothing plugged in. The hum then increases with the REVERB knob, even with volume at minimum. Interesting. And, it is present even if the reverb tank and footswitch are disconnected entirely. Thoughts? '65 Princeton Reverb clone. Thank you, your channel is very informative!
