Germino Club 40
An early style circuit voiced for a flat frequency response, GZ-34 rectifier and output transformer with 3.4K primary for EL-34's make the Club 40 a direct descendant to the early JTM-50. The early plexi circuit as used in the Classic 45 is carried over in the Club 40. The output transformer is a Drake replica unit specifically designed for EL-34's however will also work with various other tubes such as 6L6, 5881 and KT-66's. For lower power output 6V6's may be used also. Plate voltage is around 415vdc with GZ-34 rectifier. All filtering stages are 32uf. Power transformer is externally selectable for 120v, 200v, 220/230v and 240/250v operation.
The Club 40 as with all Germino amplifiers use the same quality components consisting of NOS carbon comp resistors and TAD "mustard" film/foil caps mounted on an electrical grade fiberglass turret board. Sprague and ARS electrolytic's, 2 watt Mil spec pots, heavy duty Carling switches, Cliff jacks and NOS conch tube sockets all mounted in an aluminum chassis with spot welded corners for strength. Custom wound transformers and choke by Heyboer. The Club 40 is shipped with Winged "C" Svetlana EL-34's and GT 12AX7's.
Options available for the Club 40 are:
Solid state rectifier or a tube/solid state rectifier switch
Additional filtering and our High Voltage power transformer for those wanting a louder and tighter amp for maximum clean headroom.
