  • DC Elevation for heater CT

    What is the easiest way to get a 40-50V elevation on the heater CT? I have a PP 6v6 power amp. I am using the hammond tranny that has the ct for the heaters.

    The easiest way has to be five 9V batteries in series.
    Amazing!! Who would ever have guessed that someone who villified the evil rich people would begin happily accepting their millions in speaking fees!

    Oh, wait! That sounds familiar, somehow.

      Comedy, I love it!! I think I will just use a voltage divider off of B+3. It takes a while to find stuff on the net but it is there. Five 9v batteries, I will have to remember that.

        If it is cathode biased, connect the CT to the cathodes.
        Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.

          Absolutely.It is easier ,no need to play with voltage dividers and works just as good.You really dont need 40-50v's.Whatever is on the cathode is more than enough.

            I went on the AX84 site and found a solution. I actually have 28.5v elevation and the amp has no, I mean no hum at all anymore. I will post pics and sound bytes real soon. I took it to my friends band practice and holy f*#k it just stood out. The other guitarist had a line6 and this amp blew it away. But of course they need multiple channels with switching and effects, and I am no where near that level yet.
            Thanks
