hi myles- my 1st post here. have enjoyed your pieces with dan boul.
given dan's use of custom transformers as the narrowly spec'ed secret sauce for each of his blueline amps, do you have a feel for whether and how much merc magnetics could upgrade my 90s Soul-O 75 "americana" crunch tone, preferably with el34s and in class A? i hate to get rid of this mint monster if it can be improved. always sorta regret not getting a matchless head rather the the GT from freddie w. back in the day, but it was thought matchless couldn't stay in business, ironically.
any off-hand thoughts about pre- tubes for this and the other amps and pre- mentioned below, or power tubes? is patrick likely the most knowledgable GT amp person?
i play a stock spruce fly w/bridge piezo, and dimarzio humbuckers, dry or stereo thru GT's trio pre and sometimes sfx ef-1, and a marshall 50/50.
thanks, kindly.
