    Very nice job, I really enjoy your videos ! You could also wire the filaments wire with the same colour in respect to pin 2 (Blue) and pin 8 (Yellow) of the EL34

    Great video, would you call that parallel heater wiring to the tubes?
    Thanks

      Hmm I usually just call it heater wiring but sometimes slip and call it heater windings, probably because they are "wound" or twisted as a pair?

      Oh what I meant was are the heaters wired in parallel or series on that particular amp? Apologies for not being clearer :)

    Ground is important but some tubes need directly chassis ground from pin not electrical ground. Shortest path ground from electrical ground to chassis ground is very important.

      Such as? That seems like an invitation to a ground loop.

      @@nuttyl283 Possibly if you are trying to use a common transformer winding on a center tapped direct heated tube, but that seems like a very rare situation. Do you have a link with more info on this issue? I can't find anything on a google search that covers this.
      I'm trying to keep things simple on this channel and not confuse viewers with rare/obscure situations we are not delving into. In any case I have seen, using the chassis itself for multiple ground points (especially without running a wire from this point to the star ground) is a very, very bad idea.

      @@SkunkieDesignsElectronics I think chassis pin of some tubes just help release noise to chassis ground to earth. There is no ground loop due to it just a shield of the tube design. As long as electrical ground is not loop. there should be no hum or buzz. PS ferrite beads of all tube pin wiring except filament is useful too.

    Does the volume pot use for sweet spot? I saw some amps have and others don't. What exactly the benefit of it?

    • @SkunkieDesignsElectronics

      I like for my amps to use between 40-70% position on the knob with the intended speakers.

      @@Warclock07 Yes, you would have to control the volume with the input signal strength, like with an external passive control or an active one like a pre-amp.
