Its a 650vct or 325-0-325 transformer. On a deluxe reverb, that gives you somewhere around 420v dc to play with, I would expect less with el34s, and as Steve mentions, you lose more voltage on the cathode resistor(s). Unless you know all the specs of that badcat transformer, I wouldn't count on hit...

In the Bad Cat schematic the voltage that appears is 321V.

You are absolutely right, sorry. I just added the original schematics. Thank you

Have you ever seen the schematics of the matchless or the BadCat Hotcat?

I've been wanting to build a Matchless Lightning with EL34 tubes for months, and in my analysis of how to find the correct voltages, and even more complicated, how to find the correct transformers, I found the schematic for the Bad Cat Hot Cat 30. So what did I do? I used the power transformer from ...
