Thank you sir !!

I'm still struggling mightily with it.

Anyhow here is my new milliamp reading super duper current probe.

This time if I make a boo boo it has a 500 mA fuse.

Speaking of struggling I did a crappy job on this banana 🍌 plug.
Maybe it wasn't supposed to be soldered idk

Ok I finally got a sound out of it
It actually sounds AWESOME 👍😎

one thing to note before you toss this through a window....the waah pedal is volume 
If the pedal is all the way down it's not gonna work
 
Also I had to use 1/4 L Mono out to amp.

As far as all the other stuff my head is spinning it's gonna take some time

Ok I think it's guitar in

And out is fx send

 

Yesterday a coworker brought a line6 pod 500 to work he said take it home and try it out.
I get it home and can't even figure out how to connect it to an amp.  Watched one video about it and still got confused.  I will Google it some more today.

Guitar in is easy enough.  But then there were two outlets "unbalanced mono" each left and right.

Uughhh

I get it that there's all kind of crazy stuff people can do that's why all the extra jacks etc

But I'm not looking to be the next Tom Scholz
I just want to hook it up like a pedal and get some overdrive and delay flange etc

 

Thank you sir seems like from what I have read that you enjoy pedals.  Now I understand why because I had gotten away from them as too much trouble but I have a renewed interest in them now I really had fun playing through all of them last night.

I need some help dialing in the delay pedal though I couldn't seem to get happy with my attempt to obtain a good setting.  It also has echo which gets out of hand quickly

 

Nm teh dreaded chainsaw liveth

It almost knocked me out too

I had it on the lead channel
I wanted to hear what it would do to the clean channel (of my audition chorus )

I made sure to turn all the volume knobs on the amp all of the way off
I'm standing there and I push the channel select button and I'm hit with the loudest noise I have ever heard 

So I reached down and turned down the output knob on the pedal which had been fully clockwise....duh 🤣 o

 

I was anxious to try them and haven't tried to play through them but the light comes on in three

And I couldn't get the chainsaw pedal to light up but it hasn't been connected to an amplifier at least since the early 90s

They are a bunch of old ordinary pedals but I hope they still work.

Thanks again 👍

Man THANK YOU SIR !! for pointing that out.

I was at work all day and when I got home I ransacked the house looking for a wall wart with a terminal matching the one in this pic from last May

The one I tried to use yesterday had a 90 deg on the end of it.  I chased down a couple desktop lamps...no.
Kept looking and finally found it in the bottom of a drawer under a bunch of stuff.

What's crazy is I got this from my friend's junk store told him I needed a 9v adapter he had a mountain of them and handed me this one and I can promise you we were not cognizant of polarity.

Unless...and this was almost twenty years ago...it's possible I had a pedal with me and tried one until it worked...idk...

 

So I dragged all my pedals out and the little power supply I had always used

Could not get a single pedal light to come on

Next checked it with multimeter read about 18v... idk...

Ok opened a brand new 9v...first try no go...trying to remove the battery I guess it was so rusty it ripped the neg terminal off the battery

So I went back to trying all of them with the wall wart continuously trying to turn it on and off to no avail.

Oh well guess I should play my pedals more than letting them gather dust in a drawer.

Matter of fact last time I used one it had issues but eventually got to working.

 

Thank you sir

Somehow I accidentally deleted the NAD post where I brought it home.
Last thing I need is a big heavy combo amp but alas it's not going anywhere.
The sound is heavenly and I need to be playing thru it as it will only help and I can't cover up sloppy playing with teh brootal distortionz.
 
I read about some people jumping channels I'm not brave enough for that.
The downside is I'm a total chorus nut so I gotta bust out my long dormant Ibanez chorus flanger pedal to add some glassy shimmering icepick aspect.
It's definitely not a block logo 5150 that I had but I like that I don't have to put the second volume knob on 0.000000001 to play it at the house. 
But I also dont have instant crunch berries on demand.
 

Ok thanks I put 0.5A and 2A normal fuses in and it's making good sounds but won't make any sound without standby on.

Thanks for the help I better turn this guy off until I get the correct fuses.

It doesn't get very dirty..dirty enough I suppose but the cleans are pretty sweet 🎂

Btw please accept my apology I wasn't thinking when I posted this (like most of the time) and given it's a tube amp this thread needs to be deleted or moved to player's corner...anyhow thanks for your patience 

Ok I hooked them up in series and they are doing good in harmony but that left side can't get past 15v and in fact starts sinking

I'm not touching this thing anytime soon apparently the components are packed like sardines on the inside and I have plenty of voltage.

 

Seems like my Topward 6303 has a problem. I had noticed the left side having trouble getting above 15v now it won't at all.  The right hand seems to be ok.


Must need a capacitor or something.  I'm not worried about it now besides if I need more voltage I think I can hook up both sides in series.

They def seem kinda pricey 

Edit: they are handwired tube amps supposed to be really good high quality amps.  So $600 seems like a decent price compared to what I see on reverb and gc.  I'm guessing the model I saw is a blitz 50
