Possibly, but we do not know the specs of DSL trannies at this point.

AXEL · 10-13-2010, 07:23 AM

I am in the market for a drop in PT for my JVM205C, Marshall 50 watt. These are relatively new amps (less than 10 years old). Do you currently have a replacement?

ClassicTone · 10-13-2010, 10:00 AM

At this point, we are not focusing on newer items such as the JVM205C since there probably is not much of a replacement market for them yet. They may be even still available from Marshall for replacement. Also, builders and DIY guys will probably have little or no interest in the non-classic style amp transformers. We have many items we are working on before considering newer items but if there seems to be reasonable demand, we will probably offer it sometime in the future. As you are doing here, please let us know what you would like to see from us at ClassicTone. Thank you for the suggestion!

Are the OTs for the 900's going to be a replica of the original or and up grade to a more classic tone like the Plexi or 800? Please say an upgreade

ClassicTone · 10-14-2010, 10:48 AM

Yes, they will be considered an upgrade since they will be paper layer wound like the great Marshall trannies from the Plexi and early 70's eras.

Sweet!! Get started on those JCM900 transformers NOW!!

Axe Slinger · 10-14-2010, 02:46 PM

I know that changing the OT will better the tone of my 900 but what benefit would I get from changing the PT.

ClassicTone · 10-14-2010, 05:00 PM

From numerous educated opinions in the amplifier and transformer industry (including my own opinion) is that the OT effects the tone the most followed by the PT and after that, the choke. Some tube amp purists would say replace all of them generally if money was not a consideration. The OT does make the biggest difference but the PT will also effect the tone of an amplifier

TheLoudness!! · 11-04-2010, 07:27 PM

It's November!!!

Get cracking on the 900 transformers!!

One thing I definitely appreciate is a company supplying transformers at a decent price. Mercury marks their products up absurdly high.

C'mon..let's hear about the JCM900 transformers!

The JCM 900 trannies will be out within a month starting first with the OT and then the PT.

Thanks you for your interest in these!

Good!!

It will be a choice between this and a Heyboyer. I want to wait for the Classic Tone because I am sure that it will be a better value for the $$$..

Out of interest, what combo/chassis are you using? An actual 5e3 Deluxe?

Cool. I've been wanting to try and add new life to an old SL-X for a while. Your prices are really good so it's not so painful to maintain my amps anymore.

Although, every time I work on my 900 I feel like I might be polishing a turd...

Me and a buddy of mine just received an OT, PT and choke for both of our 2204's that we ordered through Triode. Thanks dudes.

it was a solid state raven rg60. apparently that amp didn't like to be dimed, since it started humming even with all the knobs at zero
the holes i had to drill in the chassis are pretty godawful ugly, but you can't really see it unless you're real observant

here's the thread i posted in the other amps section with terrible pictures from my old phone... 5E3/Fender Tweed Deluxe Clone Build!
(that celestion g12L has GOT to go...... SOOOOO FARTY... gonna put the eminence texas heat in there because it sounds pretty rad)

Not a vintage tweed look but kool setup. I like the heavily insulated wire.

So you likin the transformers? Tell us how the Heat sounds with it.

ClassicTone · 11-10-2010, 07:21 PM

Pricing of the JCM 900 100W trannies? Although, we have yet to detrmine the pricing since they are still in the final stages of development, I am thinking they will be in the $70 range in 1 piece quantity.

From Classictone By Magnetic Components, Inc.

thetragichero · 11-10-2010, 07:28 PM

i can't claim i could tell different transformers apart, but it sounds good and even a dummy like me was able to hook it up

i like the texas heat with the 5e3 setup because it's not an overly bassy speaker.... seems to tame the low end a bit

JCM900 100 watt transformers!! YAY!!!!!!!

ClassicTone · 11-10-2010, 10:13 PM

Hey eljeffebrown,

Yes, we will offer the 50W JCM900's as well but need to do some more research on them. We also have about 10 other items we are actively designing and will offer late this year and into early next year including the JCM900 100W trannies. Hopefully, we will offer the JCM900 50W trannies in early 2011.

Thank you sir for your interest and also, thanks for your support on Facebook as well!

From ClassicTone By Magnetic Components, Inc.

ClassicTone · 11-10-2010, 10:18 PM

Hey The Loudness!...you and your JCM900 100W should be rocking soon enough with our transformers! Thanks for your patience and hope they exceed your expectations!

The same transformer will work for all of them as long as they are the corresponding 50w or 100w transformers.

American Viking · 11-15-2010, 07:46 AM

Just swapped out the PT and choke on a 2204 and christ that amp came to life in a mean way. It was awesome! Would've changed the OT as well but I accidentally left the spec sheet on it at home and couldn't remember the wiring scheme. Oops.

These transformers tightened up the amp and gave much more volume and headroom. I am very excited. One down, one more 2204 to go.

ClassicTone · 12-10-2010, 02:27 PM

We at ClassicTone have recently introduced the following new Marshall Style Transformers:

Marshall Style JCM900, & JCM2000 Output Transformer, 4/8/16 Ohms, C3070

Marshall JTM 45 & 50W Plexi Style Power Transformer, 1202-55 & 1202-118

Marshall 18W Upright Style Power Transformer

I hope you enjoy them!

O'Rourke · 12-11-2010, 11:26 PM

Nice! Might have to pick up one of those DSL trannies.

I really dug the 50 watt OT I used in my Ceriatone. I got a whole PT/OT/Choke set from Triode for a 100 watt build for less than one Mercury tranny too, great iron and even better prices IMHO. Keep it up guys!
