OK well I have a HUGE choke here in the parts, its about 22H and big enough for a 100w marshall so I am thinking at the very least, 200mA (its close to the size of the OT...prolly 300mA nyuk nyuk.)

So, Matt H is that too high a value in H for this application? I also have a 158L which is about 14H at 200mA if I remember right. I think I have a weber here too which is 7H at 200mA.

Be sure your tinfoil hat has a good low impedance ground.

Thanks RJ, that combo cab is the bomb. Love the way it tilts by design. excellent for gigging as no handles are sticking out!

Rrrrgh! I just checked, and the choke I have here is the smaller one (they say 9H, 120mA, it actually measures at 7H tho). I see the one you are talking about. I have several pieces of iron lying about in a crate I will look and see if I have something suitable similar to the Fender choke. I can measure Henries and DCR so a little time to go digging might find "gold".


LOL, if I wanted to really go Rube Goldberg I could use a PT as a choke....I've read about people doing it, but I wouldn't, 'cause if I put TWO chokes in this beast plus reverb it's weight would prolly approach one of my 100w JMP heads. Did I mention, I'm feeling old? Ten years ago I NEVER even would have taken weight into consideration. Not so, now.


Thanks!

I'm going with reverb based on Kelly's comment.

I can swing the Hammond choke- pm me if you have a better deal than the "usual guys" for it. Ya know like mouser, aes, digi, etc. always interested in good supplier sources. Lemme know on the other parts and I'll forego the screen choke for weight if nothin' else.
