Peavey Envoy 110 Trans Tube Beefing up the Output Stage

[J M Fahey]

Fully agree and that's the point.

IF you'll need to buy a larger transformer, new big filter caps (because you will need more filtering and higher voltage), probably higher rated rectifiers, a good heatsink, etc. ... you are practically buying a nwe power amp ... or 90% of it.

Go all the way, leave the old one as is, build the new one in a simple chassis and mount it inside the extra speaker cabinet you are adding.

OK, I figured out what I will do.  I am buying another Peavey Bandit 112 Silver Stripe.  It has an effects loop and can take a 4 ohm load.  It has more power than I need (100 watts @ 4 ohms, 80watts @ 8 ohms) but that's why there is a vol knob on it  .  It is the same vintage as my Envoy 110.

I found one on my local Craig s List for $120 and I bought a matching external cab off of eBay for $150 shipped.

I emailed Weber speakers and were are discussing new 12" speakers - A Blue Dog and a Silver Bell seem to be the best candidates thus far.

Here's what the rig will look like when done:




Project Done!

Thanks for all the advice and help!

Well done.  That's not a concept a lot of guitarists get.
