I've been giving this output trafo some thought. (I'm learning how gain reduction circuits work, so please be understanding):
1. Throwing a 175 output trafo in there with a variac-type pot to dial down the trafo wouldn't work because without a corresponding gain circuit, the overall output signal would drop, correct?
2. Could the multi-tap output trafo be replaced with (4) step down trafos with a selection switch (or would that cause 'popping' during the GR selection)?
3. Looking at the schemo of the 175 and 1176 (pre-A), could the 175 output trafo be used with a 1176-like gain reduction circuit? Or is the magic in the multi-tap output trafo?
Thank you in advance,
DY
