I use a multi-tap OPT in my Champ type build and compared ~4.5K to ~7.5k several times. There was no discernable difference in volume or tone.
If it says "Vintage" on it, -it isn't.

What's really neat is when you hook up one of those caps backwards and apply a high voltage.......KaaPow!Steve wrote:I learned something new and amazing today. The little + and - things on electrolytic capacitors actually mean something important.
Don't let that magic smoke out Steve!

When I made my circuit board, I stuck components on it just to see how they fit. When I started soldering things together, I neglected to make sure every capacitor was facing the right way. Fortunately nothing blew up. As far as you will ever know.
Relax. It's SUPPOSED to smoke a little.

I do know. That's why my head almost exploded when I saw the problem.

Also, it turns out a 6V6 makes a pretty lousy rectifier.
