A happy little amp

You know who else uses those big trannys?
Ben Verellen. He builds a nasty loud amp, and it's called a "Meat Hammer."
It's gotta be the loudest guitar amp I ever heard.
It has like a 700 volt power supply...

But dude,
Don't you need a filament power transformer, besides the power and output you already have?
I think those 300 watt amps use a separate filament power transformer as I recall.

the other xfmrs are in the picture to give scope to the size of the Hammonds.

12A filament available. I’m going to guess weakest link will be the KT 88’s themselves.
 
Ohmed the OT and everything looks good to the resolution of my meters.

I couldn’t resist a quick check of unloaded voltage on Red-Red.

So...

895/2=447.5*1.414=634VDC unloaded is a good guess, no?

It's very similar to the real Magnavox SVT power transformer. (not made in China real SVT)
(Ampeg)

But let's not confuse that with the fake SVT, which was built by Crate....
(Crate-Peg)

But since Yamaha bought Ampeg, don't confuse that with the new "Yam-Peg." :pound-hand::pound-hand:

It's basically a Marshall preamp with a SVT power amp.

But the air pressure will blow the speaker cable plug right out of the jack on the cabinet...
