The Dumbleator,
The Dumbleator II mono In, Stereo out 2 tubes and a choke in the power supply
A-Box-Later Tabletop version, not sure if it uses tubes or Jfets.
There are also a few Dumbleators out there with a single channel but 2 controls on the recovery....not sure what the other control does though.
Maybe tone? I would see where one would come in handy, since at least as per my experience, setting the the return control too low can make the sound too smooth/dark. Of course, while turning it up makes things livelier, it makes the voume go up too...
Can only post 3 photos at a time so here is the Dumbleator II followed by a tantalizingly close photo of Robben Fords tele with his open Dumbleator (lower right) setting next to it .... cropped':evil:'. What was the guy thinking!
Now if we can get some gut shots ....

Wait... how big is this xformer? I was thinking that it would be slim to fit into the 1U chassis. You should only need to drill out mounting holes. I was planning to mount the tube on a piece of aluminum angle laying flat so the chassis can be closed up and mounted in a 2 space rack with an effect. As long as there's some cooling room above it shoudl work well.
