Another Turneroid red herring
"Patrick Turneroid"
** Another of the Turneroid's famous red herrings:
-------------------------------------------------
" Many Guitar amps have a hum nulling pot so hum from heaters can be nulled
but often is has no effect."
-------------------------------------------------
Actually, very few tube guitar amps have such hum pots.
1970s Fender 50W and 100W combos being the only ones of any note.
The trim pot always works ( if it has not burnt out ) but you have to KNOW
how to do the adjustment.
First step, fit an open circuit 1/4 inch metal sleeved jack plug in the No 1
input.
Second step, turn up the volume till you hear 50/60Hz and harmonics coming
from the speakers.
Then adjust the trim pot to minimise the audible effect.
