Guess what?

Is there any reason I couldn't or shouldn't use a precision resistor to replace this burned up one with?

Just curious

Same wattage and value, go ahead.

See? I prefaced by saying im talking out of my ass. So disclaimer noted lmao

Well I ordered a few but now I have a 7 to 10 day wait time.

So be it. I suppose I can start messing around with the bias board in the meantime.

What did you say that was wrong?

What did you say that was wrong?

I basically said that precision resistors would probably blow if voltage or amperage values werent dead on, cause of tolerances being way tighter.

Ah I missed that.

precision just means tighter tolerance to target value.

I built my entire 1987 with Dale precision resistors. The only reason NOT to use them is to retain the sloppy factory noise and sound variables.

Anyone?

You can use a precision resistor if you want to.
What resistor is that? Does it have a number on the board?

Double post again...

@mcblink put that bad boy together with what you got!

R6, 1w, 1ohm.....I think?

 

[Cadorman]

Just make sure it is at least a 1 watt resistor.

 

[Cadorman]

That you use.

Really glad I traded my tsl for that 1960A cab right about now...

 

[Cadorman]

And I really need a drink. I had to go back to last July to find a pic with alcohol in it.

 

[mcblink]

When I bought my TSL, the 1960A was part of the deal.

The cabinet is still what I use, though this head has given me a lot of trouble in the past. I am confident that after I get this all done it should be a pretty solid amp though. If not, I'm throwing the fucker in the lake

What's all the negatives about a TSL???

Well, mine was a victim of the infamous runaway bias problem that plagued the early 100w TSL/DSL models. Bunch of em went out loaded up with underspec'd components and such

When they're healthy though they're beastly amps

Any PCB amp

Brother, others may tell you different but if I were you, I would build a light bulb limiter for initial startup.
