Do you have stabil voltage +/-15V on TL072, do you post clear pictures of step driver? Do you revert wron polarity of 10uF and ZF10 on negative side (mistake on pcb component layout)?
Regards

greetings thanks once again after revesing polarity of zener and 10uf no smoke tested amplifier on full volume 4 ohm load for 3 hrs amp and step
driver performed flawlessly tomorrow i will start 3 step pcb inserting components hope i succeed
1 today i tested your soft start but relay comes on instantly no delay used
15 volt zener 12 volt relay 30 volt regulated supply any hint why no delay

thanking you

There is litle delay enough to start toroidal without blow fuse.
