Hi all,
Built a Fender-ish amp with what I thought to be a pretty by the numbers reverb circuit, save the tone control and a few value swaps to make the reverb a bit more wild and stronger than a stock BF/SF Fender circuit.
I played this amp for may a few hours before the reverb went weak. Turns out the primary resistance on the driver was low - about 250 Ohms. New working unit measures about 800 Ohm. Partially shorted?
I had another, replaced it, and chalked it up to being af fluke, but a few hours later, same exact failure. Here's my schematic. The rest is basically BF Fender.
I am doing something stupid here to cause fly-backs to the driver?
Thanks!
