I read on the forum about bad Output transformers so I guessed it could be that, and even if it wasn't it was sure to improve on my sound.
Well it's installed. It was pretty easy, and if you have ever thought about replacing your transformer I can tell you it's worth it. My amp sounds AMAZING now. At all volume levels, with or without an attenuator.

I feel a worth while upgrade on mine too. I would prolly take a pass on the choke if I had to do it again. I like a little sag in my tone and a choke I think tightens that up.
Keep that in mind if you ever consider going for a choke too. If you want tight like metal players would then I'd get a choke. Me, I'm a blues/rock player so a bit of sag to me is sexy.
