RE: How to Trace Out Tube Amp Schematics

Another intermediate step I've found very helpful is to do the 'decoder ring' between an amp (or other piece of gear) and its schematic. What I mean is, to find a place on the schematic, say, the connection between the output tubes and the output transformer, and find it physically on the amp. Keep relating the devices and junctions on the schematic to the physical landmarks in the system, and it will help you gain familiarity with the translation process, typical appearance and arrangement of components, and so on. Though schematics may proceed in a nice left to right, input to output fashion, the physical implementations in the hardware aren't always laid out in as obvious or orderly a manner.
