Q: tube OPT
« on: Dec 17, 2008 at 02:42 PM »
hello everyone...

ive collected some tubes for a guitar amp build [not hifi]...
im looking for an 18watt push-pull OPT for 2x EL84.
can you guys direct me to a source here in the phils? its hard for me to get from abroad eh.
pwede rin naman DIY of some of your tube-guru friends'work...

btw, have you heard of LION brand OPT's? ive seen it here in a store but im not very confident with it...

thanks!

What frequency response do you want from the OPT for a guitar amp?

I can talk with Edrel Sison (he winds hi fi OPT, but should be able to wind guitar OPT, it should be much simper). I can simulate the OPT using my software if you give me the frequency response that you want and give the result to Edrel so he can wind it.
I went fishing the other day, and I caught a BIG ONE!

guitar amps are not the same as hifi amps....so for the ouptput traffo, you can use those Lion Brand OPT's....when i did my first amp circa 1968, i used those transformers from Lion and they were quite okey...are they still on sale now?
That's OK, you can like or dislike anything you choose. That's the wonderful thing about the freedom
