10.01.28 - New October Studio Amp! The October Studio has been redesigned using the new custom Heyboer iron.  Options for a second output tube and an FX Loop are also available.

10.01.28 - New Custom Studio Transformer Sets All Studio kits are now shipping with custom Heyboer Iron for no additional cost.

The new power transformer is designed for 120V mains and has a secondary output of 275-0-275 @ 65mA.  The output voltage was increased to supply the higher B+ levels needed by designs such as the Lead II preamp.  The current capacity of the filament winding is 3.5A and has a center tap.  It's no longer necessary to create a virtual center tap, and more preamp stages, tube FX Loops, tube reverbs, etc. can accomodated.

The output transformer now has 23K and 11.5K primary taps so that two dual triodes can be used in the amp.  The core material has been changed for better, and tighter bass response for the new high-gain builds.

The new custom choke was designed for the utmost in filtering preformance and can be used, in the Studio builds in either a choke-input or capacitor input design.  It can also be used in bigger power amps (20W and above), as long as B+ levels are not greater than 500V and the current demand is 65mA or less.

Prices for these new components are:

Power + output transformer set:    $125
Power + output + choke transformer set:    $145
Choke:      $23
(prices do not include shipping)
