Does anyone know the Rockerverb's OT specs?

Post by Nickerz »

I'm trying to discern the topology of the Rockerverb and have a good understanding of the preamp\tone stack for the most part, which is something like a JTM\SLO\JMP mashup and the topology isn't anything that crazy outside of some of the modern conveniences. But I'm having trouble getting specs on the OT to understand how its voiced. From what I can gather, the very old stuff is Hiwatt (essentually JTM into Hiwatt). I see that Fender OTs are interchangeable in this regard. I'm wondering if that's changed with the Rockerverb if if it's still fundamentally voiced Fender\Hiwatt.

Don't slaughter me too much, I'm doing my best to try and understand what I'm looking at and to dig up what I'm looking for.

Do you have the 50 watt model?

No, but my impression is that if someone can help me understand what the 50 watt schematics means in terms of windings\specs that I'm sure it'll apply to the 100w. More or less, I don't think the 100w is voiced different.

Have you seen this link?

I think it means they have 8 sections and dual slot. An Hi-Fi-ish design. I remember to have read on other sites they are five sections.

That's exactly what I was trying to discern. If it's hifi esc then I know I can put it through an existing power amp I have that is hifi esc (Marshall 9200) and just get a preamp rather than buy the whole boat. Wouldn't be as knarly as the stock poweramp, but would still be close enough. Then again its interesting that stock they rock EL84s. So I suppose clear voicing that is designed to compress and breakup a bit to add to the squish... That makes me think about grabbing a Classic 60\60. Sort of begs the question, what's the difference between a bridged 60\60 (it doesn't actually let you bridge this one) and running both monoblocks into a stereo cabinet from the same preamp signal?
