Vox AC30/ 6 (TBX). Add an MV ?

[Sea Chief]

Apologies, I'm doing my best to contain my exasperation.

Seachief, do you understand how a potentiometer functions as a volume control? Do you understand that it is a voltage divider? That the guitar signal is a (varying/AC) voltage?
Ignore everything else for now. Can you just answer those three questions please.

A voltage divider? No, I have never heard of these two words in conjunction with each other.

Surely, if this is a fundamental component of understanding any of this, then I might have been told this-? Especially if i say that I'm right back at step 1, trying to understand *how a Volume on a preamp affects the power amp (& why it's located here & not just before the 'exit' to the speakers). I have stated this is where I'm at, countless times now. I just cannot be expected to understand any of the diagrams, see any relevance to any of them, certainly not a step onward & being capable of -comparing- one to another... IF... I say as clearly as I possibly possibly can, that I'm right back *here at step 1. Can I?

Thanks, SC

Again, I have never heard of "the guitar signal is a (varying/AC) voltage".

I was asking about Master Volume, so guitar signal hasn't been in discussion, until you mentioned it. I wasn't expecting guitar signal to be relevant to the volume controls on my amp whatsoever tbh. Guitar signal seems, to be alot of what you're talking of, within explanations I'm hugely confused about: meaning I am -more- confused with it's inclusion wondering why this is suddenly being talked about.

Furthermore "varying/ AC voltage" has never been mentioned on the thread either. Certainly not with "guitar signal is a.." preceeding it.

Thanks, SC

As to how the MV -only- affects the power amp section in your diagram.. this is WAY in advance of where my understanding is. I haven't on god's earth got a clue as to why or how an MV can affect just the power amp, if it's placed before it (& if that's where your diagram suggests it is placed).

You don't seem to understand signal flow. Do you expect the signal to go backwards through the Master Volume and affect the Preamp ? Do you know what a Voltage Divider is ?

Are you refusing to answer the questions because you don't know the answers ?

Are you one of these AI Robots that just posts stuff to get a reaction from people.

It has been suggested that Sea Chief has some pathological need to be helped and paid attention to. He pretends not to understand so he can get more attention. This makes him feel whole somehow and the more someone tries to explain something to him, the more he doesn't understand.

Sea Chief, please seek help from medical professionals in your location.
