InMadOut Transformers - Soldano Replacements.

This post is a follow on from the heavily modded SLO post which can be found here.

I had a few reasons for choosing these transformers. The main one being that I am building this amp around a dual KT88 Power section and these transformers are perfectly specced for the application.

These were made to order and had a very short lead time of around 10 days which is another fantastic reason to use these.

There was a bit of the impregnation resin on one of the endbells which I cleaned off but it also took a bit of the black paint off too so i'm possibly going to dissasemble these and spray them matte black.

The power transformer is an absolute beast!

So now all that i'm waiting on for this build is the chassis & a headshell that I am getting custom made.

Hopefully there will be more posts soon.

New Amp Plans

Well I was kinda challenged to do this one but it's something I actually have an interest in myself so i'm going to roll with it and see how it turns out.

The challenge was to make a low powered amp thats around 20w or less that can do metal without the bass farting out as it's never really been done before.

Heres the plan so far

• Single Channel
• EL84 power stage
• Cascaded Gain Stages
• Variable Voltage Regulation for Power Scaling
• Built In Boost Circuit
• Adjustable Negative Feedback Control (Depth)
• Stacked Controls For The EQ Section Where The Second Stack Controls The Boost With The MV Control Being Push Pull To Turn The Boost On/Off

I wont be starting this until after christmas but i'm really excited for it.
