“Blessed are the Tone Makers”
The above circuit reveals the properties of an audio output transformer . The transformer is a reactive
component—its values change depending upon the information feeding it. Transformers for
tube-based electric guitar amps are designed to
intentionally provoke the tubes into distortion—
the polar-opposite of demands of hi-fi . The best guitar tone comes from harnessing and manipulating
the inherent flaws of the imperfect transformer. This is where art meets science in our pursuit of
great guitar tone.
— Sergio Hamernik
