Transformer ?

Danny Michel	Transformer ? I'm designing a tube bass and and have a question... I'm shooting for about 550-600V from the solid state recifier. I'm looking at the Hammond 724, Will this PT work here? What are some other options? I'll be running 4 7027As or 6550As and 3 or 4 preamp tubes...

The Ultimate Tone, Volume III by Kevin O'Connor

Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to build a Bassman, Champ, Plexi, an 800, AC-30, Bulldog or Portaflex? Or you wanted to build an SVT with off-the-shelf parts? How about a master-volume amp that doesn’t change tone with the master setting? Everything you need to know is right here, including: proper grounding techniques, wiring methods, and mechanical considerations. Eighteen chapters cover the “iconic” amps everyone knows and loves, with schematics and layouts for each, along with the technical history of the product. Eyelet-board and chassis-mounted tube socket construction is used throughout, for easy servicing and modding. TUT3 is very accessible even if you cannot fully read a schematic and is a "must have" if you are going to build an amp for your self.

loudthud	A 724 will give over 1000V with cap input. Might work fine if you're building a 211 amp. Go straight for the 278CX (US) or 378CX for universal primary. Kevin O'Connor's book "Principals of Power" has plenty of design examples that should interest you. His website is londonpower.com . It's not an inexpensive book but, you won't regret buying it.
