Greetings,

I’ve just received a TPA3116D2 (Mono 100w, 24vDC unit) with the intent to try and use it as a backup amplifier for my pedal board. I was actually quite surprised how it sounds fresh out of the bag, can’t say that I prefer it over my tube amplifier but damn for the price and size, its a super good unit and might be used in future gigs.

Anyway, my question here is regarding the pots. I see they are dual gang 50k linear, with the volume having a switch included. Given I will only send one signal to the pedal, do I really need a dual gang for the volume knob? In other words, are the signal from the right and left RCA jacks each going to one side of the potentiometer? I need to reposition them to fit in a pedal enclosure so I might replace the pots while I’m at it.

Another question, there was no indication as in what was the current needed, I went with the assumption that Ohm’s law applied here and that 100w @ 24VDC would require 4.12A, is that correct?

Final question, the little white connector beside the barrel jack for the power is intended as a parallel connection to the power input, meaning I could plug something that runs at 24VDC to it, is that correct?

Thanks in advance!
