    AMPEG SVT-CL rewiring for 220V and other issues

    Thanks for your answer. From what I see in the schematics (and if I understand correctly) if fault circuit is OK it will generate a delay after which the relay allowing the high voltage transformer operation will be turned on which enables the Standby switch. THEN fault circuit will sense if...
