Hit post too soon.. Great iron, not just good iron. The kind of transformers that give you goosebumps if used in the right circuit. If you use a Hammond, you will never hear what the circuit can do....
300B Tube Amps with 15/16 Watts Per Channel?
Felix Audio makes the dual 300B amp "Lybra"--are there any other manufacturers of that gear?.Does anyone have experience using two each 300B tube amps modified to be two monoblocks with 15/16 watts output power each? If yes, did you hear any difference in the exquisite 300B sound other than more power? All experiences and thoughts appreciated. (Yes, expense is already noted)

@donsachs Great for small guitar amps though! |
I used to fix guitar amps for musician friends. They are pretty simple.... (the amps, not the guitarists!)... except Marshalls, which have many small pcbs and jumpers and inevitably it would be a failed bias pot on the board buried the deepest in the amp. A 3 minute repair that took an hour to get to. The thing was, I could always improve the amps, but they wouldn't want you to. They WANT distortion. So you just replace all the bad lytic caps, and make sure the operating points are where they should be, and put k40 oil caps in where old oil caps have failed, etc.. You can get away with making the power supply a bit stiffer, but that is it. Otherwise the amp is too "clean" for a lot of guys.... So yeah, a Hammond is just fine for a guitar amp.... |
