Title: Laney lbo 100 3 transformer models needed
Post by: Geomalidis on March 25, 2025, 03:57:53 pm
Hi guys !

I am trying to make a Laney lbo 100 from scratch and I can not find the models of the three transformers that are needed.
Does anybody know them and where can I buy them ?

Help will be appreciated.

Looks like 4 x EL34s and 3 x 12AX7s. Any 100W PT designed for EL34s ought to work, and any HT choke and 100W OT designed for Marshall JMP 100 ought to work

New to amp building ?

Best is to begin with a smaller ( and easier amp) , not a 100 watts amp.

Too many chances to have some issue or /  and damage certain parts. And let's not forget that no one needs such a powerful and  heavy amp.

 
Show schematic , I can't find any information about a  Laney lbo 100 amp .
Is it the right model ?

Use a good layout if you want easier building with less issues.

Like this one, a 50 watts amp.

So it will be your second amp ,

Why a 100 watts ?

Show the schematic.

It is 100watts because I could not find the 60 watt schematic.

This amp schematics you show is a SG100 mk1

Why you post is about a lbo100 amp wich I can't find ?

Why not a 50 watts ?

Firstly, the laney lbo 100 is the laney supergroup but lbo 100 was the name that it was called when it came out.

Secondly , I dont want to build the amp you sent to me I want to build the supergoup 100
