>What does a larger tranformer do for the sound of an amp?
Well as was stated before a correctly matched larger trannie will
increase the fidelity of some amps. Will also improve the transparity of sound
and the attack will increase.
Great for country, jazz,and improved headroom and pick attack, think Mark
Knofler.
But, bigger isn't always better ( she said ), less iron as in the
Pro Reverb and covented Vibroverb ( same trannie BTW, only
differant output imp.) can give a natural sounding compression,
due to core saturation. The notes seem to swell after the inital
attack, also an improved spongy feel, think David Gilmore.
