Hi all,

I'm new enough to this game, I've made some pedals and repaired/modded some amps but I really want to step it up and build a lightning clone, however I'm struggling to find quality suitable transformers locally in Ireland (240v here).

Hammond are readily available, but I'm not 100% sure which ones would be best.

This is what I'm considering:
- OT: 1650E (15W, 8k primary, 4/8/16 ohm secondaries - presumably just run an 8ohm speaker on the 8ohm secondary?)
- PT: 290NX (290v not 285v - big deal?)
- Choke: 158M (100ma, 195ohm) or 159P (125ma, 155ohm)

Anyone any thoughts?

All those would work. But I would not recommend the Hammond Output transformer. Just doesn't cut it IMO.

Thanks Stephen, anything you can recommend that might be available in the UK?
