6. 112

The ones I'm most concerned about are the pin 7 voltages on V4 and V5, and also V2/pin 6. Nothing else seems too far off. I'm mostly just wondering if those high voltages are bad, or if I need to find some way to bring them down. Can anyone offer some insight?

Thanks

Jake

Finally got to try it out tonight. Haven't opened it up yet, cause it's too late. I had some grounding problems with the EF86 channel. Cleared that up, and now all I get (besides the guitar sounds) is some hiss. I suspect that to be the tube I put in. Anyway, it works great, and it sounds even better! Thanks a bunch!
