Re: 1920s vintage speaker with a guitar amp (Impedance problem)
Hello, everyone! thanks for the replys Here are some pictures. I have 3 speakers of this kind and they all have the same type of coil and magnet. The screw in the back acts as a On/off switch I would say. You screw it and it makes contact and you can hear the speaker work. Sorry for the messy pics,...

Ruby Amp Speaker Output jack
Hello everyone! I've built a Ruby amp, the amp works fine and sounds very cool! the thing is that I wanted to add a speaker output jack to the circuit but it didn't work. I plug it to a 6 ohm speaker and also to a Roland Street Cube amp but no sound came out of them. Is the wiring OK? I'll attach th...

Re: Guitar amp kit (problem with noise and humming)
I've been told that maybe I should put a Filter but I have no idea what kind of filter. Maybe this one? https://es.aliexpress.com/item/32949654786.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.108c5f70iYCIUB&algo_pvid=c94d55bb-2f45-47c5-b057-6aa77a0a28c0&algo_expid=c94d55bb-2f45-47c5-b057-6aa77a0a28c0-0&btsid=0b0a...

Re: Guitar amp kit (problem with noise and humming)
Your schematic shows the proper input jack wired correctly. But the layout shows an incorrect input jack. A correctly wired jack would look like the attached pic. The jumper is important. If your jack only has two solder lugs then get a Switchcraft 12A and wire it as shown in the attachment. BTW, w...

Re: Guitar amp kit (problem with noise and humming)
Sorry that's about my best shot. Yes it looks like that would be pin 1 in my understanding of the pictures. In theory you could leave it disconnected, not sure why he even did that, other than to help people avoid wiring the bass wrong. Sorry, but I don't know a lot more about troubleshooting solid...

Re: Guitar amp kit (problem with noise and humming)
I've been getting practically the same answer about the grounding of the pot. I can see that in the bass pot part of the PCB there is no connection to anywhere in the 3rd lug (looking from the back of the pot from left to right). The rest of the pots have a connection for this lug in each one of the...

Guitar amp kit (problem with noise and humming)
Hello everyone. I've built 3 of these kit amps so far and I always have the same problem. The section of the bass potentiometer in the circuit board acts strange. When I turn the pot down to "0", there is a loud hum, like its not grounded, WICH IT IS! I had the exact same problem in the previous two...
