Very low, like ear up to my 4x12 to hear it low. I had this issue, couldn’t suss it out so I rebuilt it again from scratch using no similar parts except for jacks and transformers... but still have the same issue.

I made a temporary “preamp out” just before the PI and sent it to a separate power amp and it sounds great, so I don’t believe the problem lies within the preamp section.

Here are the handwritten “actual” voltages I am getting.

I’m out of ideas, can anyone steer me in a direction??

Check the values of PI cathode resistor make sure its R not K

A picture of the build might help as Well

Hello,

I had a similar problem with a new build...amp worked properly except volume was low. Chopsticking the wiring revealed a bad solder connection on the jumper between pin 8 and 3 on the PI...tapping that wire induced a loud pop out of the speaker. After resoldering that wire, the amp worked perfectly. Hopefully you got the amp working!

What is the cathode voltage on the 6V6's . Is it 22 or close per spec??
