AMPLIFICATION
"THE BROWNOUT 1000"
1,000W rms
STEREO BASS GUITAR AMPLIFIER
This page presents general details of the 1,000 WATT RMS "BROWNOUT" amplifier produced by WOLFF INSANITY AMPLIFICATION, Portland, Oregon, USA.
This amplifier is included on this website because of its novel and innovative design and construction in the 1,000 watt tube musical instrument amplifier category.
The Hammond 1650W dual hi-fi output transformer configuration is of particular interest because of their capability to easily handle the amplifier's rated power across the full audio frequency power response.
Note the innovative design where five pairs of KT88 power tubes are connected through one pair of transformers to match the loudspeaker load impedance (in each channel).
The pictures and information included here are extracted from various websites and are all I can find. Copyright in the pictures and amplifer design is with the owner Wolff Amplification.
