split design, first of all. Left side: 48 channels, mic pres are 8x 1073, 8x API, 8x Hardy, 8x TubeTech MP1As, 8x Paravacinis.

Line transformers can take higher signal levels, like +15db, mic input transformers take like -10db to 0db, so saturating this core might be difficult unless...

Looking quickly through this thread, you do have an insulated jack for the speaker out right? It's not grounded to the chassis is it?

Appears to be a primitive root type (ie skyline) not a quadric residue type like most symetrical ones everybody makes.

?Our prime number is 138,167.? !!!! :shock:

The English Channel thing looks interesting. The old Matchless stuff might be good for you too. One of their footpedals, was it the Hotbox? Basically the pre amp from an AC-30. I've seen the schematic kickin around the web if you are a DIYer.
