Is this a proper way to connect a Hammond OT to shannons driver.

Here is a partial schematic. Did I get it right?

You are correct on the secondary connections. But I believe the phase is swapped on this tranny compared to the Dyna output, so the primary leads will be flip flopped with the EL34s.

In a DIY PP amp, just always be sure to shut it down immediately if you have the phases swapped. I am convinced it always comes down to a 50/50 shot on a new design. :)

hehehe thats what Mike said too. Finger on the switch during the first power up and the bias voltage as negative as it will go. If there is any ringing shut it off Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_06
