Build Basics FAQ : #2. POWER TRANSFORMERS!! 

Man, I've learned so much from your channel, I feel like you should be charging. If only you weren't halfway across the world, you would be getting a lot of free beer in trade for answering my stupid questions

These videos are just amazing, Jason. Thanks for taking the time.

I'm loving this build basics series, please keep them coming! I'm eager to get building but I have a lot more I need to learn first before doing a scratch build

You should do a video series on a build from start to finish and sell it. Most youtube channels have vids on stuff like mixing, songwriting, programming drums etc. Having one on building would sell IMHO.

thank you for sharing this knowledge! I've only had older modelers / solid state amps, but have always been curious about tube amps. took me awhile to realize that many of my favourite crunch / distortion tones were associated with JCM 800 hot rodded Plexi style circuits, many of which probably had further modifications under the hood. I used to think I couldn't get anywhere near that "sound in my head" without spending way more than I can justify as a tinkerer and rusty bedroom player. being able to do a DIY scratch build or modify a used example as you've demonstrated will likely go a long way to getting there! even if I don't go that route any time soon, it's cool and I'm learning interesting things along the way. cheers from Canada!

Great info as usual, thanks Jason.

Another great video. Excellent pertinent points ✌🏼

Awesome video - Thanks Jason !!!

Thanks for this Jason just what I was looking for.

Great video, Thanks!

Great info thanks!!

Definitely learned something, thanks

I miss the hell out of Classictone too. I buy Mercury iron now. They’re the only other company I trust with stated specs. Hammond and Heyboer are all over the place on 120v primaries.

I read Hammond makes direct replacement transformers ,their 290 series, for guitar amps that were reverse engineered from classic tones

How about Torodial Transformers?

so... the 50w example works for the relays or not? i didnt get that part...

I'm actually just trying to search for information on how power transformers change the feel of using your tube amp. Perhaps you're a good resource.

I can still use a pt rated for 100w for a 50w mc2 build right? Granted i wire it in full bridge rectifier with the ct connected in between the first series filter caps, as mentioned here?

lots of inexpensive options for Fender PT replacements. Can these be used? Many of them are for 2 or 4 6L6
