Yes I think you are correct.
I just went in and replaced ALL the 16V rated electrolytic caps for 25V or better rated caps.
The exceptions were the three .47uF caps that have 25V rating so I left those.
The amp is easily twice as loud as before,
I actually had to turn down the volume control and at "3" it's still a decent bedroom volume.
Still fades out after 20-30 seconds of playing.
A "real" amp inside the cabinet is still on the table as an option....
but I'd want it to have reverb and tremolo working too.
Got any schematics or donor amp candidates in mind?
Or... maybe I can find some substitute output transistors...? Re-bias likely needed.
There's gotta be some higher power rated PNP germs out there? Probably expensive...
Or silicon that would work?
I can see the next limitation being the phase transformer.... :blank:
