No need to apologise! It's frustrating stuff when "standards" aren't standard. Hopefully that solves the gating issue. While you're...

This is my take on Aion's tight metal. Runs at 9v and 18v. The idea for the power switch came from the Motley Crue drive. I think it's a...

I've never seen a russian diode with the stripe on the cathode, though I could absolutely be wrong about that. I would guess that the...

I'm not familiar with the King Centaur (I assume it's klon centaur-adjacent?), but if it's using the diodes for clipping then it isn't...

You might want to check it - for russian diodes, the stripe almost always marks the anode. AFAIK the ones with a single blue stripe...

I'm not sure if you missed this - you have a diode in backwards.

That's a russian diode, the stripe is on the anode.

Oh - D1 is backwards.

Again, just checking some basic stuff... make sure the transistors are firmly seated in the sockets and try it again with the back off...

A photo of the underside of the board, please and thanks? The voltage on Q3-C is a little high, but I'm not sure if that would be...

I don't think the OP is saying this IS the case, just that it's a possibility that something is loose.

Oops my bad - OUTPUT. Got the names jumbled.

The "after output" control is a voltage divider on the ouput, so if that knob isn't turning the volume down at all you most likely have...

I'm sure everything is as it should be, but fwiw there have been countless times where I've looked over a board a thousand times...
