Title: faultline at 18v?
Post by: illcom on October 01, 2010, 11:35:16 AM
hey

In the  clip below burgerman use the catalinbread SFT at 18v and says that it gives more headroom, is it possible to do the same with the faultline clone?
WIll the led burn out since the resistor is at 47k?

At 18V with that 4k7 resistor, the LED is still only seeing 4mA. It'll be fine.

make sure all your caps are at least 25v.  actually, I think the smallest i used in mine was 35v.
