Trace Elliot Velocette + Mercury Magnetics OT

My Velocette is back and kicking! The output transformer has been replaced with a Mercury Magnetics. Overall the sound has better clarity, headroom, response and just a little less gain. It rocks, I love it!

Hello, i have a gibson ga 15, wich i belive is pretty much the same amp as a velocette, can you tel me the model number of the output transformer? thanks

[littlefury]

@setantii

Sure, it's from the APS series, OT ref. TRACE-VEL-OM Trace Elliot Velocette -- 8 & 16Ω taps

@littlefury

I'm thinking allot of that owes to the vintage correct alloys in MM transformers.This info is most useful,thanks.

@bootlegapples

Yes it did. The amp sounds much mellower now.

@littlefury I had one of those amps and liked it BUT it fatigued the ear due to upper mid spikiness/pingy attack.

Can you tell me if the Mercury tamed some of that harshness(common in almost all new amps it seems to me)

What song are you playing in the begginning? thanks!

Hi,

the guitar is a vintage Gibson Melody Maker from the 60s. Thanks for listening!
