  • DRRI reverb stump

    Reaching out for some help. Schematic attached

    The amp has very weak reverb (cranked to 10 sounds like 1-2 normal). I get tank crash loud and clear and buzz on the reverb out cable so am focusing on the V3 input side.

    I have swapped in basically everything: new tubes (V3, V4), reverb cables, reverb tank, installed new reverb transformer with no change. These things I had handy from another clone build so could easy swap to try and isolate.

    Looking at voltages on the schematic I am getting 3.9vDC on TP18 (V3 cathode) but tested R27 and C15 which are good. Really at a loss as to what is happening here. I appreciate a nudge in the right direction. Thank you.

    What's the plate voltage on V3?

    If you input sine-wave to give 37mV at TP6, what do you read at TP17?

      Sorry I figured it out. Intermittent pin 1 connection in V3 socket. Cleaned and tensioned and all good.
