Any ideas? (maybe I accidentally put the ins where the outs where supposed to be. The last thing to do now is to put the reverb connections back, but when I tried yesterday it was humming so much that I decided to disconnect it and leave it for now. Now I have a switch that lets me choose from symetrical clipping, asymetrical (tube-ish) clipping and diode bypass (witch make it sooo clean more like a fender amp. So then I took on the diode clipping section were I screwed up last time. I wanted to see if there was any heat or smell developing but there was nothing, so I pulled the plug and soldered the TDA2050. Well, since I know nada about making any meaningful measurements I just checked the pcb for any burns, dark spots and old solder crap from previus experiments and then I turned it on with the old amp circuit removed. I meant that I wanted to measure for expected values on the pcb to look for other faulty components before putting in any new (I see why I was misinterpreted). Here is the schematic for the Vox Pathfinder thanks for your input. I'd be thankful for any answers that could help me bring my Vox to life How can I measure if other components were damaged? Don't know what values to look for or where on the PCB to make the measurements TDA2050) without changing other circuits on the board? If so, what should I look for?ΔΆ. Do I need to replace it with the exact same component or can I use a similar one with the same pinouts (e.g. After sitting too long I lost focus and accidentally shorted the diode circuit witch in turn burned the TDA2030a component. I was trying out some different combinations of diodes to get a different character in the diode clipping section. I did search to try to understand how to find a suitable replacement for the TDA2030a in my amplifier but since I'm just learning I'm need some guidance of what I can do and what not to do. This is my first post in this forum so i really hope I don't violate all rules in the book.
