So here's more of the infamous Killovolt The top left shows it ready for servicing after being completed. The top right shows all the various completed components of it conveniently piled on my chair. The bottom left shows the main amplifier board itself, plus the tube sockets. The bottom right shows mainly the power supply section of the amp. The transformers are all custom-wound by yours truly. The one on the upper left is the transformer for the preamp tube plate voltages (250 VAC), the output tube screen voltage (450 VAC), and the bias voltage (100 VAC). To the right of that is the filament transformer. It has two separate windings, one for the 4-250A (5 VAC, 15 amps) and one for all the others, (6.3 VAC, 4 amps). The one to the right of that is the 4-250A plate transformer, which puts out 1250 VAC at around 300 ma. The one below it is just a choke, capable of handling up to 5 KVDC. So there is the main power supply for the beast!

Exactly what is this supposed to do? Is this simply a very high-powered amplifier, or is it something else?
And do you have any recommendations on where I can find information on winding my own transformers? I could sure use a few nice high-current step-down (120V to 12V) transformers!

It's a guitar amplifier with tremolo, reverb, overdrive, and tone controls!
Here's a great website that I used a lot when I was winding my transformers:
