Does anybody know of a output transformer that would work in the Peavey Encore 65?

A whopping £120+vat.. Was wondering if there was a suitable alternative.

The amp has one pair of 6L6, so any output transformer suited to a pair of 6L6 and your speaker impedance should work. SOme 50-60 watt type.

Thanks for you replies. - Do you think this would work?

The 50 Watt transformer is looking for a 2 ohm speaker.
The 100 Watt is way big & needs a 4 ohm speaker.
The Peavey Encore 65 manual states that the factory transformer can handle a 4 ohm or a 2 ohm load.
So I would assume that you have a 4 ohm speaker.
I think either one would work in a pinch.
Now you are down to mounting the thing.
Will either one fit?
Are the chassis holes in the correct orientation?

Thanks for your reply Jazz.. Will contact the vendor about mounting sizes.
Yes.. 4ohm speaker is being used.
Regardless, which transformer would be preferable to use?

I do not think the amp will be too happy at 4 ohms on the 50 watter.
As stated, the 100 watter is big. But the 4 ohm output is good.
Try to find this.

Wow! Those are a bit over HALF the price of the Peavey OT.
Wonder if Peavey is over the top on their prices in the U.K..... so... one of those "should" do the job just as good eh?

[Jazz P Bass]

Yup.
If they fit.
