DIY Class A/B Amp The "Wolverine" build thread

I have 691uA across R6, so something above it must be wrong. I'll look at the divider R27 and R3 first, then may have to go to Q7.
Hi @RickRay I created two pdf's for you "Wolverine IPS Only 30v Rail testing - with 57v full voltage rail components" and "Wolverine IPS Only 30v Rail testing - with 64v full voltage rail components" it looks like your 691uA is fine.

BTW, I have a 9.1k ohm resistor and a 5k pot for testing the EF3-3 in isolation. I'm guessing that will work just fine.
Just make sure this top combination of resistors match the bottom fix resistors before you start and the fix value resistor is ~12K. The 12K value is based on 64v rails so if your rails are lower the fixed value will be lower.

I did not have a 5.7k resisitor and I upped the rail voltage to +-32V, limit of my supply, so I used 6.8k resistor for 4.7mA flowing through them. I only got 325mV across R111A and R111B, but the voltage did climb if I increased R109. I only went up to 350 and brought it back down. I also had to raise the current limiting to .5A on each rail to get it to start, but it did. Do you see any issues with my results?
