Hi everyone, I have a eico 147 sig tracer that I am corverting to a guitar amp. The amp has a big honk in the midrange. Before condeming the speaker/cabinet, I thought I would check the amp itself. I could not find my 8 ohm dummy load, but stock there is a 47 ohm resistor accross the ouput, so I proceeded to test the frequecy response at the output using a AC voltmeter at sine waves generated by my DAW. Here is what I came up with:
How will the diference in load affect the frequency response?
I suspect the output tranny is the problem. The schematic does not show anything else that I think would affect the bandwidth this much - just a very basic amplifier circuit Any thoughts about this?
What tranny do you recommed I replace it with? (6AQ5 single ended output)
Thanks,
