Re: 50Hz vs 60Hz cycles - tonal impact?

If the Power transformer is well built then shouln't be any problem, but if its conservatively designed it can be a problem with buzz,heat and voltage drop. Transformers rated at 60Hz should not be used on a 50Hz supply due to higher losses and core saturation, and the resultant higher temperature r...

Dumble footswitch cable?

Why Dumble used 5 core for the footswitch cable?

Am I missing something?

Re: Oscillation Disappears with Dummy Load
