marshall choke replacement what do you guys think? A 10H, 90ma, 270ohm would make for a good 100W marshall choke replacement. |

Hi Joe It also depends on the used materials, wire and way of winding and building but I love 10H chokes in 50 and 100 Watt Marshalls for blues and rock. Hope this helps, Chris |

thanks chris, the one I'm thinking of using is from triad magnetics. http://www.triadmagnetics.com/subcategory/xref.asp?formid=mpart&reference=c-7x The model is c-7x. The specs look good. looks like it has enough current for a 100W, and the resistance is right in the ball park of what is normal, but I don't know how its made, or if any one has used it for a guitar amp. I also don't know the specs of the original marshall used. I guess in reality, it just has to be better than a resistor, and I'll be happy. -Joe |

Hi Joe Haven't tried/used that one so I can't commend... About every choke is better than a resistor if that's needed ![]() Regardings Hs, current and ohms I don't see a problem using that Triad choke. Keep on building, Chris |

Hi Ive got a 135w fender twin, doesnt have a choke. Would it help to warm it up if I put one in there or even a resistor? |

Hi Jimi You can convert the UL output to a regular one and install a replacement Fender choke. That choke will fit if mounted in a slight angle or you could slightly "modify" the small board above the new choke in the chassis. Besides other tweaks I've done this a couple of times in 75 and 135 Watt fenders for clients wanting a "better/more vintage" sound. Hope this helps, Chris |

BK | 270Ohm is a bit on the high side. You can get Hammond chokes of the rating down to 100Ohms. This wont drop your voltage as much. BK |
