Default Peavey Valve King 212

Its confused because V3 splitter driver is physically on the op pcb, but
all
3x .3 amp heater valves (6.3V setting) are in parallel for .9 amp total at
node ( 6V or 6V1) and then in series with the 4 output valves, each at .9
amp so in effect current-wise 5x .9 amp in series and 5 x 6.3V supply



Maybe that's so they can use Mickey Mouse connectors/PCB traces at 1 amp
capacity rather than have to hand wire proper heavy duty wires.
Whatever, it doesn't seem to work very well.

Makes a bit more sense now though, cheers.
