Need a power transformer for a jtm50 Marstran or Merren

Post by wpaulvogel »

My power transformer is reading 0-0-335 on the ht windings and putting harsh “ghosting “ like notes as volume gets loud.
Amp has a Marstran 1202-118. Sent them a message but haven’t heard back.

not sure PT is doing the ghosting .. but merren is the better PT in general.

Ghosting is hardly caused by the transformer alone

I fixed the transformer and found an oscillation. Put in a grid stopper, fixed the ghost. All good now. This is the best sounding Marshall Clone I’ve ever heard.
