I am going to build the 18V power boost with b169c. see attachment I have read that this circuit works best when the collectors are biased to 9V ( sound right??)
my question is which resistors would you tweak to bias the collector voltage for t2 and t3? (r6 and r 14) sorry its been a while since I too a electronics class
thanks
Colorsound - Power Boost (Vox)
- IvIark
- Tube Twister
Information
Yes, R6 and R14

More like 10V. The (factory?) schematic for the 9v version asks for 5V there.brendon79 wrote:I am going to build the 18V power boost with b169c. see attachment I have read that this circuit works best when the collectors are biased to 9V ( sound right??)

Is getting these voltages there even a problem? I hear this circuit is fairly tolerant about transistor specs.. but no experience here. I was going to build one, but scored a vintage unit before I got to it
