Geloso G1 1040 mods
hello everyone
I have a geloso g1 1040 50w that after few mods (preamp stage for guitar use and changed the exaust electrolitics) for functional test i would complete modifying.
the trasformers specs are
PT: 6v-6v 4A, 332v-332v 270mA, 39,2v-39,2v 150mA
OT: 4000ohm - 50-60w
choke: 3H
I already have 2 matched 6550, 2 matched kt88, several 12ax and 12au7, further the geloso original tube.
i attach the original amp scheme, the scheme with the mods i did for a test and the scheme with the idea for a 6550 mods (the power section need tweaks)
any advice for an amp whit this trasformers and with my ideas?
thank you and sorry for my bad english

Re: Geloso G1 1040 mods
Geloso are great amps that were very very common in Italy during the golden years.
Their price was reasonable and the quality and reliability was and still is simply superb.
Good to know that in Belgium the price is even better than in Italy.

Let me check, I think I still have a Geloso tape recorder/player and a LP player somewhere.
Nice to know you studied the history of the brand.

Have recently acquired a G1.1110 with 4x EL503’s. Recapped it and fired it up stock. HUGE headroom, and well put together
If it sounds good, it is good! Trust your ears

Modman, that's really interesting!
Can I ask you to open a thread with your documents?
