"Doug Circuits" VOX AC4 Ver.3 - transformer recs?
« on: September 21, 2020, 01:43:56 pm »
I'm thinking of building this AC4 variant.  Does anyone have a recommendation for a power transformer or the 4H choke? 

Also, while the OT is listed as TF103-48UL (for a Champ I think) I've already got a P-TF22913 OT from a Princeton Reverb clone.  The primary and secondary impedances are listed as the same, just more power handling in the PR OT.

Thanks!

here's a quick search, little hotter than the one in schematic, but should work;

One is for single-ended, the other for push-pull.
