C3 is to block any DC from the input that may unintentionally be present, this would otherwise ch

2、ange the bias point of the first valve stage. V1a is the first gain stage and is configured as a cathode bias, common cathode, voltage amplifier with bypassed cathode resistor for increased gain. R6 and C6 give a slight presence lift and the frequency of the Bright effect is set by C7, which, when s

3、witched in, is across pins 2 and 3 of RV1 (Volume). Obviously connected like this the amount of brightness added will decrease as RV1 is turned up. V1b is the second gain stage configured similar to before, C9 is added across the anode resistor R8 to smooth out the top end. The Tone network is passi

4、ve and controlled by RV2. This is a dual ganged potentiometer, one part of which effectively controls the mids (RV2B) while the other part inversely controls the treble (RV2A). R34 and R35 act as a potential divider to lower the signal sent into the phase splitter. POWER STAGE The phase splitter (V2

5、A and V2B) is a differential input splitter which produces the two anti- phase signals necessary to drive the push pull output stage. V3 and V4 are the two EL84 output valves connected as a push pull, cathode biased class A power amplifier. The quiescent current is set by R24, which is bypassed by C

6、19 for extra gain. OUTPUT TRANSFORMER AND SPEAKER CONNECTIONS The output transformer has secondary taps for 16 and 8. The 16 tap is used to drive the External Speaker Output, SK2. When a jack plug is inserted into SK2 the internal speaker is disconnected. RadioFans.CN 收音机爱 好者资料库 2 The two LINK posit

7、ions are provided on the PCB so that different impedance internal speakers can be used in production. Depending on whether the internal speaker is 16 or 8 the correct LINK should be fitted. This has been done purely so that different impedance speakers can be used if there are any problems with supp

8、ly. POWER SUPPLIES The HT supply is a very simple bridge rectifier diode network, with 4n7 1KV capacitors across each diode for EMC reasons, which is then smoothed by C22, to supply the centre tap of the output transformer. This is then further smoothed by R32/C23, R30/C25 and R31/C26 to supply the

9、screen grids, phase splitter and preamp respectively. R28 and R29 are to discharge the high voltage capacitors when then unit is turned off. The ac heater supply is simply connected via a twisted pair connecting lead to V1, V2, V3 and V4. Paul Stevens 30 June 1999 RadioFans.CN 收音机爱 好者资料库 VELOCETTE A

10、LL VALVE GUITAR AMPLIFIER Introduction The Velocette is no nonsense, compact, purists valve guitar amplifier. It has the minimum controls necessary to produce a good range of sounds, from clean to overdriven, into its single speaker. The circuit topology has been based on traditional guitar amplifie

11、r designs, with new ideas incorporated where beneficial. The preamp and power stage sections are 100% valve. The valves used are two ECC83/12AX7s and two EL84/6BQ5s. REAR PANEL CONTROLS INPUT A single jack socket is provided for connection to your instrument. This is a high impedance input which all

12、ows for perfect matching to both passive and active guitars. BRIGHT SWITCH The BRIGHT switch adds more high frequencies when selected. It works in the traditional way, therefore as the volume control is increased the effect becomes less apparent. VOLUME This sets the overall volume level of the ampl

13、ifier as well as the tone and the amount of overdrive. From low to about halfway, depending on the output level of the guitar used, the sound should remain reasonably clean. Increasing the control further will progressively increase the level of distortion in the sound, obviously being a valve amp i

14、t will respond to the players dynamics and use of the instruments volume. TONE Unlike other single tone controls on other amplifiers, which act merely as a treble roll off, this control works in a different way. In the fully anti-clockwise position the midrange is dominant in the sound, turning the

15、control clockwise decreases the mids while at the same time increasing the higher frequencies. EXTERNAL SPEAKER OUTPUT This is provided so that the user can connect the Velocette to an external 16 speaker cabinet, such as a 4x12, for a different sound. This is useful for both live and studio use. Wh

16、en a jack is inserted into this socket the internal speaker is disconnected. Always ensure that the amplifier is correctly loaded when in use. POWER SWITCH (OFF/STANDBY/ON) As the name implies, this switches the amplifier from OFF to STANDBY mode, where only the valve heaters are on, to ON for actua

17、l use. This should be used correctly every time the unit is used to prevent problems with valves and increase their life. Before mains is applied to the unit, check that it is the correct voltage and make sure the POWER switch is in the OFF position. Connect power lead to mains outlet then switch to

18、 STANDBY and wait at least 30 seconds before switching to ON. This will ensure that the valves have time to warm up before large voltages are applied to the plates. During short breaks the amplifier can be switched to standby and will therefore be ready to play when next needed. MAINS FUSE In the ev

19、ent of having to replace the mains fuse always use the same rating and type as marked on the units rear panel. Using one of higher rating will invalidate the guarantee. If after replacement the mains fuse should blow a second time, immediately refer the unit to a TRACE ELLIOT approved service engine

20、er for checking. ORIENTATION OF VALVES Looking at the VELOCETTE from the rear with the vinyl covered rear paneI removed you will see four valves, the two on the left should be ECC83/12AX7s and the two on the right should be EL84/6BQ5s.
