Hammond 290-series Guitar amp PTs
#8
Hi Daryl

Um... I don't believe you got it it...

This line is the most important regarding the autoformers:

None of these devices are appropriate replacements for the OT in a tube amplifier.

Regarding the amp you have and what mods you might make, you have to think about what tone you want to have compared to the tone you actually have. Then try to close the gap appropriately. An easy change to make to the PA is to increase the feedback loop values by a factor of ten. Gain remains the same but the tone will be more dynamic.

Have fun
