  • Klemt echolette S hum issue

    Hi everybody
    I'like to have your help because I'm so lost.
    I own a Klemt echolette since one years. I buy it in very bad shape and restore it by changing all caps. Now it 's working quite good and the preamp is so wonderfull !!!
    But I still have an issue that I can find the solution.
    The direct sound is very clean, no noise. But when I increase reverb control knob, hum start to appears and increase as much as you increase this knob.
    The frequency of the hum is 50hz and 150hz. If I remove tube 3 there less hum but it still increase with the pot. But when I remove tube 4 there is no hum (and no echo of course)
    I'm a beginner in electronic so I haven't so much stuff to test (just a multimeter)
    If somebody can help me it's will be wonderfull
    Thanks very much an sorry if my english is not so good.
    Manu

    Hi, have you adjusted R76 which is the heater filament hum cancel control. It should be located between valves 1 & 2 and is called "Entbrummer" in German. Cheers, Mickey
