Current Limiter shows short, but

Postby jakemendonza » Tue Aug 07, 2018 1:53 pm

I’ve been reading forums for years, but this is my first post. I’m troubleshooting my build, basically a 5f4, and even though it sounds great, my light bulb current limiter shows there’s a short. The bulb reacts to what I play (gets brighter). My other builds don’t do this and I’m reluctant to take it off the current limiter. I’ve tried two sets of 6L6s to no avail.
Anyone experienced this before? Any thoughts on where to look?

Hi jakemendonza and welcome to the forum.

It sounds like you are actually building a physical (not virtual) valve amp. This forum is for users of IKM's AmpliTube software amp emulators. You may be lucky that someone else that frequents the forum builds their own amps as well, but I would suggest that you seek out a more appropriate forum for DIY amp enthusiasts if you want some speedy help to your issues.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
