Output transformer for a ’63 Fender reverb

Post by Masster » Wed Apr 19, 2017 9:31 am

I am making a Fender reverb unit and need help with the choice of the output transformer. Please, suggest the most suitable modern transformer for the schematic. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/8UnS/mYzwQ2RP7 Reverb tank input impedance is 8 ohm. Thank you in advance.

This site should have what you need. From my recent experience of having my reissue repaired, I can tell you the part is about $40 USD.

But here's a nice and way cheaper alternative to the Fender unit:

Bjorn has recreated the Fender unit using FETs and the whole thing is just one small board that you hook up to the standard reverb pan. Plenty of videos on youtube demonstrating that it sounds just as good as the real thing. I'm currently collecting all the components I need to make my kit into a deluxe version.

Thank you for the reply but I do not need the kit you have mentioned http://triodeelectronics.com/6g15reverbkit.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. By the way, there is nothing about an output transformer on the page. I do have nearly all the parts and a chassis, tubes, and a reverb tank. I stuck with the choice of the output transformer (audio transformer). I shall highly appreciate your advice.

Perhaps they meant to copy this link, which is the OT itself (and looks to be an excellent choice):

From the first sight, it looks very much like the transformer I need. Thank you! The only thing that I should find out if they deliver goods to the Russian Federation. =o)))

To andy_tchp: It’s a pity, but it’s impossible to order OT-47605 from Triodeelectronics. And Google search results point only to Triodeelectronics.
