Wild Bill | Re: Gibson reverb tank Peter, 2500 ohms sounds odd to me. A value that high is normally not transformer driven at all. Lots of old amps like Traynor would simply feed such a tank from a big coupling cap like .22 or .5 mfd from the plate of the driver tube. Solid state reverb circuits often use 2k or 2k5 inputs and outputs on the tank. When you say the transformer is a 4:1 ratio, is that voltage/turns ratio or impedance? Whatever, unless you're totally stuck on keeping the amp stock I'd consider either cap feed to the existing tank or borrowing much of the typical Fender circuit, with a new driver transformer and tank. ---Wild Bill |
