|    Another Turneroid red herring    |

      From: phil_a@tpg.com.au              "Patrick Turneroid"                     ** Another of the Turneroid's famous red herrings:              -------------------------------------------------       " Many Guitar amps have a hum nulling pot so hum from heaters can be nulled       but often is has no effect."              -------------------------------------------------              Actually, very few tube guitar amps have such hum pots.              1970s Fender 50W and 100W combos being the only ones of any note.              The trim pot always works ( if it has not burnt out ) but you have to KNOW       how to do the adjustment.              First step, fit an open circuit 1/4 inch metal sleeved jack plug in the No 1       input.              Second step, turn up the volume till you hear 50/60Hz and harmonics coming       from the speakers.              Then adjust the trim pot to minimise the audible effect.                            ....
