Why do you needed to set voltage led to 100V instead ususal 2 V? No current flow on the branch of the three diodes at the bottom. Why not uses usual diodes bridge to rectifier in double-wave or a single diode to recrifier in half-wave ? Before the bridge you can also use a cap in series to circuit in order to exploit its reactance to lower the voltage, even if is dangerous due not galvanic separation when used to home ac power.

It's just a direct copy of a vintage fender amp scematic. The led doesn't belong. I was fooling around with it. They were simulating a heavy load.

The diodes on the bottom are not passing current maybe due to the source not being a center tap transformer?

Ah, ok I understand, in the actual schematic current flows in both branch. You can also play with two trasforormers to realize a center tapped power trasformer for hi voltage tube plates. Thank you.
