Title: silvertone 1484
Post by: johnfromcyrene on May 28, 2026, 01:51:39 am

I came across a silvertone 1484 that mojotone put out. they eliminated the trem and reverb.

Can someone confirm that they modified the voltage doubler? Im not to familiar with this type of circuit.

Did they just use a different power transformer?

The original weird stacked voltage doublers have been replaced with a more common power supply using a standard power transformer.

Would it have any effect on the sound? was just thinking of building this one instead of the doubler one.
