Plate voltages for a 5E3

macdillard · 11-24-2007, 01:22 AM

Anyone have the information as to what the plate (anode) voltages for the pre amp , PI and power tubes for the 5E3 is suppose to be? Haven't been able to find a schematic with the voltages on it. Some of the Fender schematic and or layouts have the voltages but the 5E3 does not. I am guessing around 360 VDC for the 6V6's.

for the first gain stage 12AY7 I get about 120v on the anodes, for the second gain stage and phase inverter I get 166 and 199v respectively. for the anodes of the 6V6's I get 368v but I think 350-385 is fine.
