The Varipoise Push-Pull Output Transformer
KVG Laboratories is pleased to announce our new Varipoise Push-Pull Output Transformer, the product of ten year's intensive research into the design and quality of push-pull amplifiers. Beginning December 2008, the Varipoise will be standard equipment in many of our guitar amplifiers. Typical push-pull transformers are designed with the assumption that equal current flows in each half of the primary winding. The Varipoise can operate with severely unbalanced DC in both halves of its primary, allowing for more reliable operation and lower costs than traditional boutique-quality guitar amplifier output transformers. Better yet, the Varipoise allows the push-pull output valves to be deliberately unbalanced, creating new and unusual tones unavailable form any other guitar amplifiers.The Varipoise offers many advantages over traditional push-pull output transformers.
- Variable voicing: can be adusted to sound very clean with late distortion, or very dirty with early distortion, all at the twist of a knowb This unique feature offers unparalled tonal variation in music instrument amplifiers, or optimized performance in audiophile amplifiers.
- The Varipoise is more reliable than most other push-pull transformers.
- The Varipoise transformer sounds great even with severely unbalanced output valves -- if one output tube fails the amplifier will still make excellent sound with reduced output power. Your amplifier will be more reliable as a result.
- A Varipoise transformer lets the designer create new amplifier tones and unique-sounding guitar amplifiers.
- Amplifiers made with Varipoise transformers can operate in a balanced push-pull mode, a single-ended mode, a reverse-phase single-ended mode, or a continuously-variable unbalanced push-pull mode. This gives you a nearly infinite variety of unusual tones and a sound like no other guitarist has.
