wow, that seems like a mighty big transformer for a preamp...?

 

[svtb15]

I guess UA has to justify the cost somehow
BTW that is a great... unit.... only kidding about the cost...

Nothing a little duct tape won't fix........

My thoughts exactly.

I don't have any pics of the inside of my Peavey VB-2. Still too new, too much scary stuff inside....too scared to open it up!

Is that big toroid hanging from the crossmember? They couldn't possible bolt it to the bottom too or there would be one big shorted turn through the center of the toriod.

The guy I bought this off said it was 135 watt but it looks identical to his 200 watt version. There's no marking. Does anyone know how to tell?

So whats a Tube Viper DB1?

BTW that DB455 is nice. How much for me one?

Im curious as to the amount of transformers. 2 smaller ones for heaters? Im assuming none are phase inverters. But looks killer! Have you tried the new'ish EH 12BH7 yet?

If you can find photos of either amp (other than yours of course) compare the size of the Output Transformer. Otherwise, have Bass Gear Magazine do an article on it and measure the power output!
