If you built a 50 watter using the 100 Watt Ouput Transformer your 50 watter would hit with the low end and dynamic punch of a 100 watter which would be pretty cool IMHO. When I pull two tubes out of my 100 plexi it still hits harder and punches bigger than my actual 50 watt Marshall so the theory actually works.
Need a lot bigger transformers for that project
BIG!
The info posted above is incorrect. The correct info is that the 4 ohm tap will now become 8 ohm and the 8 ohm tap will now become 16 ohm. The 16 ohm will be 32 ohm but probably not be used because in practice 32 ohm speaker loads are typicall not used. These videos may help with the concept.
4 ohm tap becomes 8 ohm, 8 ohm becomes 16 ohm, and 16 ohm becomes 32
Actually, what you’re saying now is correct but what you posted in the past was incorrect go ahead and read what you posted. I think you’ll see the error.
That's exactly what I said. He would not use the 16 ohm transformer tap at all. The 8 ohm tap would become the new 16 ohm tap for a 16 ohm load and the 4 ohm tap would be the new 8 ohm tap for an 8 ohm load.
He probably should hardwire the jacks as 16 and 8 ohm only to avoid any issues.
My mistake it wasn’t you who gave the wrong information it was somebody else you’ll see it up there
That's exactly what I said. He would not use the 16 ohm transformer tap and that tap from the transformer would not be connected at all. The 8 ohm tap would become the new 16 ohm tap for a 16 ohm load and the 4 ohm tap would be the new 8 ohm tap for an 8 ohm load.
He probably should hardwire the jacks as 16 and 8 ohm only to avoid any issues.
I was explaining that wiring the Output transformer in this manner is exactly like when you pull two power tubes in a 100 watt amp that has 16 ohm 8 ohm and 4 ohm taps.
