F8 Output Transformer - RV50

Post by misterMagoo » Wed Dec 02, 2009 6:46 am

Does anyone know how long the F8 OT's have been used in the Rockerverb 50 models? What affect does this have on tone compared to an older model (say 2004)?

I tried a new one in the store and I fell in love! But I want to save some cash and buy used so any guidance would be helpful.

Thanks.

Yes I also read that thread, and commented. I just wasn't sure if the F8 Ot's were a brand, a type, or what. However, I saw the updates there and appreciate the effort!

No problem.

Truth be told, apart from on this thread I've never heard of the 'F8 OT's'... :oops:

Oh wow, I've just checked the 2009 catalogue.

Apparently the RV50. has "a new exclusive Dual Snake 8 output transformer design".

Whatever that means... :?

I see the F8 was in the 2008 catalogue. Clearly thats old news now. Still learning here...
