Hi
One of the 4 diodes that make up the bridge rectifier has blown. The part number is SR1K 16. I am unable to get this diode. According to the datasheet, it is rated 800v, 0.8A. It is a fast recovery diode which I think is a fast switching diode. Can I replace it within a 1N4007. I dont understand why this diode which is a fast switching diode is used when my mains frequency is only 50Hz. So can a 1N4007 be suitable. Please assist.
Thanks

Wow, this is an almost exact clone of the Fender 100 W Silverface chassis according to drawing #010182!

Welcome to the Tubes / Valves threads area (Vacuum Tube Hi Fi / Stereo Amplifiers).
A good place to find experts.
There are also Instruments & Amps threads.

Guitar amplifier people . . .
When bringing a Guitar amplifier question to the Tubes / Valves threads, please announce "this is for a guitar amplifier".
That way, idiots like me will know it is not a Hi Fi or Stereo playback amplifier.

Carlosraj,
It is OK, to post on Tubes / Valves.
But I just ask that the original poster mentions that it is a guitar amplifier.
I have different answers for a guitar amplifier, versus answers for a Hi Fi Stereo amplifier; those are generally 2 distinctly different devices.
I need to know which thinking cap to put on . . . guitar amp; or Hi Fi Stereo amp.

The schematic says 6l6 GT this should be 6l6 GC. The latter can stand 450 V ( as used here) the 6l6 GT can stand only 300V on g2 and max 400V on the anodes. As Kay said It's an exact replica of the Fender amp ( I repaired many of those).
Not completely exact, see the PSU section (bridge rectifier here vs. full wave in the Fenders). Anyway, this doesn't matter that much imho.
Btw, there's a mistake in the Guytone schematics shown above: The reverberation amplifier triode must read ½12AX7 instead of 12AT7, see the other V4 half and the Fender schematics.
Best regards!
