Transformers back in stock

[Moose]

I got trannies this week and I THINK I've emailed everyone I had on my waiting list.

If you haven't heard from me, drop me a note from the link on my website and I'll square you away. I haven't updated the website to show in stock to give myself a little cushion to clear out the backlog, but I have lots of iron in the shop right now.

I can't apologize enough to everyone for the month's delay -- I should have had them back in stock by the weekend of the 4th, but I miscalculated badly.

I know this is a very old thread, but I can't seem to get a response from Moose. I emailed through the Toneslut website and sent a PM. Does anyone know if he's still supplying transformers, and if there's some other way to contact him? It's been a week since my first email.

Should be. I ordered mine last weekend. If you use a free email account, your emails might be getting sucked up in his spam filter (yahoo?).

I'll send him an email for you.

Hey thanks, BBQLS1. I sent the email through my dedicated tim @ tim'swebsite.com address, so it shouldn't have landed in a spam folder.

I would really appreciate it if you could get a hold of him...I have a project I'm ready to get rolling on.

[BBQLS1]

You should be hearing from him soon.

[Tim Hall]

Thanks. The problem was with my email server blocking his response...I think it might have been trying to block "sluts" and "trannies." My mail hosting is pretty tough.

Anyway just to let everyone know, he had tried to contact me a few times.

That's pretty funny! I got my iron in and it looks very nice!

He has a dual tap 4300/5200 on M19/M26, why not just do a triple tap 4300/5200/6600 on M19/M26 and cover all your bases

I'd rather have a single primary and choose the right transformer for the specific build. I don't like having to keep the unused primaries coiled up in the chassis and if you cut them short then you may as well have bought a single primary in the first place.

Funny, I started my Express and Liverpool both with the dual-tap trannies and now both of them have single-tap ones. Pacific in the Express and Toneslut Vintage in the Liverpool.

I couldn't be happier.

When I was experimenting with steel, it was brought up to me that some people prefer a single tap. For a couple of reasons:

1. Some people might worry it would sound different than the same tranny dual-primary

2. Single tap is more "original" -- closest to the real things

3. Fewer wires to cut and tuck away

I mostly prefer single primary for reason #3, but it all started with switching the Express tranny to match the formula in Franchesca. I didn't know how much each factor (number of taps, steel, etc...) affected the sound, so I made it exact. Especially in an Express, which is a fussy bitch when it comes to thing that don't affect other amps so much.

The express also seems to be the bread-and-butter of this forum. It's odd, because it's the least versatile of all the Trainwrecks and the poor Liverpool, which I feel is quite under-appreciated, is an awesome all-around rock amp. But the express was the focus as it's the most commonly requested tranny.

Having both single-tap 5200 and the dual tap 5200/4300 started as a misunderstanding withe Heyboer, but I'm glad I got to hear them both even if there's no real difference in a liverpool. And the 4300 ohm primary is a good all-arounder for quad El84 AND quad 6v6 amps, meaning I can build my double-deluxe or a non-authentic Rocket for a good price.
