Nyquist5	Re: 2x20W, 1U rack PA transformers? Hi Brian, Thanks for your input. Mesa Boogie parts aren't readily available in Europe and are very expensive. Given the used price of a Marshall 20/20, I am pretty sure I can build one for less, provided I find the right trannies. 1U rack enclosures are real cheap and I already have all the other necessary parts. There are many things to improve with the Marshall 20/20 like standby switch, master volume, presence and resonnance controls for each channel. You are right, 20W is plenty enough but I like to play in "stereo" (one dry signal, one wet) with my trio. Nyquist
