FD8: 1959 Fender Deluxe Tweed: Output Transformer Specifications

Hi, wonderful insights you gave here. I’m starting to study tube amps and I didn’t know how important transformers are to the sound. Most of the time we hear in general about tubes and capacitors.

Glad it was helpful! And the key component that controls the amp's voicing is the output transformer. Someone asked why my frequency response curves generally stop at 8K Hz, well, it is because the output transformer in most vintage amps are good to 5K Hz and quit at 7.5K Hz.
