The amp is at full rated power when the voltage from the LTPI equals the absolute value of the DC bias voltage. This is a peak voltage and we want rms because the rated power is rms, so the bias voltage is divided by 1.41. The negative sign is used because the LTPI inverts and we need a...
I don't think the loop is intended to have unity gain. I think that you're supposed to adjust the Master Volume on your amp after toggling the bypass switch.
Some people live on the edge and others live far away from the edge. The LND150 has an absolute maximum Gate-to-Source rating of plus or minus 20V. Unlike tubes, they are serious about this rating and you will, indeed, destroy your device if you exceed it. So those that live far away from the...
Don't do that. The cathode follower won't work without the 10nF cap. The grid is at the same DC voltage as the junction of the 1k5 resistor and the 100k resistor, so the 10nF cap is necessary to keep it like that.
I built that loop into an amp and it didn't do that.
The bypass circuit drops the signal from the Treble wiper to -35dB. V1B has a gain right around +35dB, so the gain is unity with the Master Volume dimed. The Effects Send drops the signal from the Treble wiper to -25dB with the Send Level...
I've seen cap cans used in series-connected filter caps a bunch of times. I even have an amp that has a cap can for the top half of the series caps.
Pete drew them as cap cans and the amps are wired exactly like the schematic. There are other schematics that are the same way. This is...
Actually I don't frequent that forum anymore because I got banned for life. I think it was for giving some British bloke a hard time about standby switches, although Paul may have had a grudge against me that also played a part.
Naw. This one is better because it has a Return Level control.
They can both drive an entire spool of cable, but other loops may have other attributes that they excel in making it hard to say that any one loop is better than another.
