Re: Blackvibe 6L6 Strange behavior on tone pots

Hi everyone So i changed the middle pot to a A 10K and removed the 6.8k to ground (just ground). Still the EQ Settings with treble middle bass, seemed not to match. I could turn the knobs as much as i wanted - i did not feel AB763 like. My critical test is using only a XOTIC RC booster in front of t...

Re: Blackvibe 6L6 Strange behavior on tone pots

Oh dang sorry… and thanks!

So since i dont have the switch and the cap, another Method that rob robinettes has on his page is placing a cap over the 820 ohm nfb resistor to reduce icepick.
Have you guys done that before?
Thx!

Re: Blackvibe 6L6 Strange behavior on tone pots

Honestly … i did not install the bright switch, since i never used it on my super reverb - that said, the cap is used if the switch would be off (not bright) and be bypassed if on (bright) right? If so i made a thinking mistake and left the cap also off :roll: So i have to solder in the cap anyways ...

Re: Blackvibe 6L6 Strange behavior on tone pots

Ok - I changed the tone pot to a AK10 removed the 6.8k resistor. Now it sounds like my blackpanels, in my sense muuuuch better control in bass treble and middle. It still sounds a little icepicky and „new“ but i guess it will break in a little too.
Thx for your help!

Re: Blackvibe 6L6 Strange behavior on tone pots

Hmm i did not try that. I will go to the 10k a pot on the middle and kill the 6.8k resistor. Instead of the resitor i go to ground with the lug directly right?
Thx martin!

Blackvibe 6L6 Strange behavior on tone pots

Hi guys I build a 6L6 blackvibe no trem, no verb. For safety reasons I gave it to a tube tech, he says everything is fine. What i really wonder is how the tone pots react, in my understanding weirdly. On any blackpanel amp if you turn all the tone pots to 0, there will be no sound at all. This seems...
