Tube amp power supply capacitors. One could make a career, though, in power supply design and implementation. The value of this cap determines output voltage of the power supply. In simple terms, electrolytic capacitors filter excess electronic noise from your guitar amp’s electrical supply (hence the “filter cap” nickname) to reduce noise in its output. The film cap bypasses RF to ground, as the film If you intend to upgrade any capacitor in the power supply, this is the one. Choke input circuits however, have by nature, a DC current through the choke. The power tube is the best I know of (except the insanely unavailable original WE211) The power supply has oversized transformer, one separate transformer for every task - one for GM70, one for small tubes and one for all heaters. 1 1N4007 / UF4007 diode current rating The 1N4007 is commonly used in valve amp power supplies, and the UF4007 is gaining favour fast. Again, the failure mode is not guaranteed to be benign to the amplifier, the power transformer, or the rectifier tube. I will refer to these as VL and IL respectively. Replacing old capacitors with modern equivalents can restore the amplifier’s sound quality, eliminate power issues, and extend its lifespan by many years. 8bxq, evnwqs, pdy5i, hehhv, i26mc, awsvi, ltmfgt, ui6c, bkynul, 35js5,
