2 X 500 watt DIY Tube Bass Amp

Oh shoot...you have to be a member there to view pics. Any chance you can "steal" one or two?

 

150lbs!!!! Plus another 80???

 

And the hearing aid salesmen rejoiced.

 

Well sh!t... Now I have to start saving for a new amp... and a mirrored '66.

 

I hope it comes with a special case to transport it?

 

2 Cases! 1 for the power supply and one for the amp. It looks pretty cool.

 

WOWEE ZOWEE!! 20 power tubes! That's even crazier than the 400+! Nice job he did if you ask me.

 

Where are the transformers...or at least the OT's?

 

This answered my question.

 

10 KT88s per channel? That would do it. 500 a side is believable. Even toroidal transformers are going to be heavy.

 

The 1650W's are in the bottom case.

 

I notice a marked lack of transformers, are they hanging off the back?

edit: see that was answered while I was typing.

 

oh my.

Insanity Amplification - how appropriate.

 

1650W, Is that a Hammond transformer? Are they using multiples per channel as I don't recall anything in their inventory designed for that much power. Could do it with 2 per channel on output.

 

Holy hell, I have a new dream amp! Rickenbacker fans with infinite budgets will rejoice everywhere.

 

Sweet!

And people complain about retubing SVT's and 400+'s!

 

Oh my god...

 

you can use multiple output transformers for one side. The 1650W is a Hammond OT. Its basically an SVT OT. Also similar to the older Dynaco 120 / 240 OT.
