Title: Removing the Valiant Clipper Circuit. Post by: Ed/KB1HYS on June 14, 2006, 09:09:12 PM Ok, this may be simple but just to be sure, to bypass the clipping circuit in a Valiant, I need to:
Remove the 6AL5 clipper tube Disconnect C83 from R31 and Pin 5 of the 6AL5 clipper socket. Disconnect C84 from L45 Connect C83 to L45 I've already recapped it with bigger value caps, I guess I should have done this when I had it on the bench then. But then I often do things backwards... ;) Title: Re: Removing the Valiant Clipper Circuit.

You are almost there. ::) connect the end of C-83 that was going to pin 5 to pin 6 of the 6C4. Disconnect everything that was on pin 6 of the 6C4. You do not want to put your audio through the frequency limiting network of C-84 and L-45. Nice audio from C-83 directly to pin 6 of the 6C4. Good bye limiter and distortion. Fred |
