There are a few options : From Italy, InMadOut : http://www.inmadout.com/T-output.asp From Tube-Town, Germany: https://www.tube-town.net/ttstore/tt-dr405-hiwatt-style-outputtransformer.html A few years ago when I built my Hiwatt DR201 clone, I contacted Heyboer and they could offer a Hiwatt replacem...

Fender Musicmaster Bass Amp (Silverface), Fender PS300, Fender PS400 + lot of old radios from 30-50's.. Plus the ones mentioned in the previous post. I've built the Weber AB200 myself and used it for 8 years now.

My Weber AB200 has an interstage transformer driven by an EL34, the power amp is 6 x 6550.

If you check hiwatt.org , you can see that there are no specific "DR504" preamps. The Hiwatt preamp was used in all models, and changed some over time + there were some custom preamps. I'm not sure which of the preamps the Reeves uses.

a Bridge rectifier option would be nice in addition to the full-wave.

It should have a plate voltage ~700V if it's working as designed...That amp is a wet dream.

Based on amps played or "been on-stage with guitar player", I play mainly bass:

Bass amps:

1. Weber AB200
2. Hiwatt DR201
3. Ampeg SVT VR

Guitar amps:

1. AA864 Bassman
2. Hiwatt DR201
3. 6G6B Bassman
4. AB763 Bandmaster
5. JMP SuperLead Randy Rhoads
6. 6G3 Deluxe
7. AB763 Super Reverb

Ok I'm starting to get it.So for this^^^, what are the output options? Would you go straight to the board? DI box inbetween? What options would balanced vs. unbalanced give you? i guess you could go to another power amp, but you're getting output tubes sent, as well If the line-out has the proper l...

Ok so say I have a 50W Fender head, I've been running into a cab...standard fare head. I would want to : 1. Be able to run the amp by itself through a cab via it's speaker outs(done) 2. Bypass the amp's power section and run it through a separate SS power amp 3. Run the head through a cab, via it's...

I built a Hiwatt DR201 clone in 2011, you should be able to get the correct transformers from Heyboer. The power supply is "dual-rail" using 2 bridge rectifiers so you will need a PT with 2 HV windings. Since I'm in Europe I ordered my transformers from TubeAmpDoctor in Germany, don't know where the...

I use 2 of these for either 8 ohm/300W or 4 ohm/600W

I use Visio for both schematics and layout

The Hiwatt DR201 and DR405 runs with 700Vp and 400 Vg2, so I guess that that's how it would sound like. Hmm, I knew that the DR201 had a voltage doubler in the power supply but I didn't know the voltages were that high. Cool. So I could build a DR201 with 2 power tubes rather than 6. The KMD transf...

I am going with the Heyboer Hiwatt iron... I just wonder if 100 watts is a bit much.. but also agree that the 100 watt might be the definitive Hiwatt tone.. But then again, I am not necessarily out to make a replica... I am interested in any ideas on taming the brightness a bit.. warming things up ...
