Hi there !

The originial Marshall diagramm do not show this resistor connected between pin 8 and ground on V4 and V5.

Reading the METROAMP instructions for JTM45 the layout is a bit different as pin 1 is connected to ground and not to 8 (picture attached).

Can you advice on the difference ? Is it important ?

Thank you for your help.

There is a jumper between pin 1 and 8 of the power tubes so electrically there is no difference between pin 1 or pin 8

Thank you Todd,

So, i think instructions for Metro (and the schematic in my previous post) are false as the  resistor is not used due to the internal jump.between 1 and 8  Wink

I deduce also that the external strap between 1 and 8  on the CERIATONE layout is a spare. Right?

So i will correct my homework to better comply with the layout
