5150 mod - choke

[malthasai]

Or do you have a model number for the choke?

[malthasai]

What does a person need to look for in terms of Current and Resistance limits for the choke.

[psychodavee]

Sounds cool. What brand of choke and how many henries? 8, 10?

[PaoloJM]

@psychodavee It's a hammond choke and is 10H. Thanks for checking the vid out.

Did you mod it yourself or have it done by someone else?

[PaoloJM]

@MarvinMoshaka Did that one myself. The mod itself isn't difficult once you know what you're doing.

[MarvinMoshaka]

@PaoloJM Any possibility that you could explain what you did in a video just looking into the amp so I know which part to replace? Or can you link me to a source that gives the steps?

Thanks a ton in advance.

[PaoloJM]

@MarvinMoshaka I created a thread over @ the metroamps forum in the DIY section.

It's called 5150 choke mod if you wanna check it out. I described the mod and showed pictures at various stages. Hope that helps.

what's a choke?? nice tone.

[PaoloJM]

@faultandfracture It's part of the amps power supply. Replacing the stock 470 ohm resistor with a choke tightens up the amplifiers responce. It also helps a little with noise.
