legally, the only way to test one of these amps is with a travis bean bass OR a peavey t40...... those the rules.

I had a T40 at the time, my back does not miss that thing.

fun fact. the t40 is why my dad has back issues. that was his main bass for 10 years.

Looking at this again, the rectifier looks essentially like two full wave rectifiers, with one being for the positive rail and one for the negative. Doing the math hre i'm coming up with a 25-0-25 transformer giving you +/- 34.25 V. So I think I concur with the 50V assessment.

This sounds a lot more achievable.

I think this one fits the bill, no? I think I can connect the two secondary's to create a centre tap.

Have we talked before about the Rusty Box I built into a tube amp for one of the Tronographic guys?

Yeah I think that would work.

We haven't, but we should. That looks awesome! I remember when they were first developing them over on the PRF (you were there the same time I think Tony) and was super happy when they came out.
