Title: OTS 100w choke Post by: bluesking on November 22, 2011, 01:16:56 AM Hi all,
New member but long time reader! I've just received my OTS 100w kit today, looking forward to getting the build on! A question for the regulars if I may be so bold? With my kit I have been sent a different choke to the one that normally ships with the OTS 100w. Its labeled on the list and the part as the choke for the DC30 kit. Does anyone have any opinions on how this may affect the sound of the amp? Nik has assured me that it will function fine, but I can't help but worry whether it will give me the sound I have been looking forward to! Any opinions most welcome and many thanks, BK Title: Re: OTS 100w choke Post by: SoundPerf on November 22, 2011, 04:54:55 AM Did Nik say whether is has the same specs. as the OTS choke? Because if it does then it will sound the same. I would guess it's actually the same choke just with a different label. I don't think Nik would steer you wrong. He has his PT, OT and chokes custom made for him, so labeling is probably just to keep track of inventory more than it is a representation of the specs.

According to nik, the inductance and current handling ability are the same but the dc resistance is slightly higher (120 ohm rather than 100). Do you think this will have any tonal impact?

Thanks, BK No. The resistance of either choke is neglible. These aren't being used for any sort of resistance.

Since this is the same, your good. Your amp is going to sound awesome. Don't worry. ;) Title: Re: OTS 100w choke Post by: bluesking on November 23, 2011, 10:19:20 AM Thanks for the reassurance guys! I'm buzzing about getting this amp built, hopefully that's the only buzzing that will happen to this amp :)
