Had been seriously dropped in a flight case and a number of problems, now sorted so it now works but there is a fairly low level background hum problem with no input. I have the schematic from Ashdown, but is anyone familiar with them ? All inputs and outputs and pots (exept the pot casing) are electrically isolated from chassis, on schema and in reality. Just the mains inlet earth bond point to the chassis. The pa has a nominal "grounding" point of // 100nF + 10K, 1/3W R and the pre has the same to chassis and the signal line "ground" between them. So about 5K between real ground and nominal ground. Disconnecting the signal lead, the pa o/p is clean. Maybe a smoothing cap problem on the pre-a secondary ps , but before I take it all apart again is there anyone familiar with this sort of arrangement.
