Peavey Windsor 100W Head Mods and Upgrades.

Post by oldmanmetal »

I have a Peavey Windsor 100W Head I got for a great price, super cheap.
Works fine, and they are what they are. I bought it to practice doing mods, and to learn more about higher wattage amps.
I have done severla mods on a few Valve Jrs, Crate 18 Watters, built a few small kits, and The Tweed Deluxe in a Valve Jr Head Chassis.

I want to run KT-88 power tubes in the amp.
I would like it to be more high gain in the vein of a VHT Deliverance. Single channel high gain that cleans up with the volume knob of my guitar.
I have the schematic from Peavey, and would love ideas from guys who have done some mods on these, or are familiar with them. I also want to put in a choke and better output transformer.
Will I need a different Power Transformer to run the KT-88s, or can this be modded to take them. I want better electrolytics and coupling caps as well. Sorry for the long post, but I have some down time due to surgery, and now is a good time to do it.
