First off, remember we're designing guitar amps, which are SUPPOSED to add coloration to the sound--there is no "right way" to do anything in this kind of application. Having said that, here are some general pointers... The inductance of BOTH of the transformers will play into the ultimate low frequency response of the amp. Here is an excerpt from Steve Bench: ------------------------ There is a formula for the low frequency part: F = R/(2*pi*L) The resistance in the above formula is the parallel of the primary side resistance load in parallel with tubes plate resistance. Notice that since the effective plate resistance varies with the instantaneous operating point, the response will also. This gives you the 3 dB point. The 1 dB point will be one octave (2x) higher, the 0.3 dB point will be one octave higher still. You can re-arrange the above formula to solve for the required inductance: L = R/(2*pi*F) Example: A tube with about 1k plate resistance is operating into a load of 3k. It is desired to have the lf response be down 1 dB at 15 Hz. What L is needed? Solution: Since the 1 dB point is desired, the "pole" will be 1 octave lower at 7.5 Hz. The R effective is 1k || 3k or 750 ohms. Therefore L=750/(6.28*7.5) or about 16 Hy. Don't forget that the L value is also the parallel combination of the (dry) transformer inductance and the choke load, assuming the capacitor coupling the two isn't close to resonance. [I am assuming a parafeed arrangement from the nature of your question]. Soooo, if the transformer inductance is 32 Hy, you would need a 32 Hy choke to achieve this response. Notice that for higher resistances, more inductance is needed to achieve the same lf performance. On the high frequency point... that's not *directly* controlled by the inductor value. It is controlled by the transformer's capacitance and leakage inductance, the tubes output capacitance, stray capacitance, and the parasitic capacitance of the choke. Larger chokes tend to have more parasitic capacitance, and thus more effect on higher frequencies, although there's no 1:1 relationship as it is a parasitic effect. On the issue of does the plate current affect the required inductance: twofold effect; the plate current will affect the effective plate resistance of the tube, thus the response as given above. Notice that higher currents generally produce lower plate resistances, and thus lessen the needed inductance. However, the inductance of *any* choke varies to some extent with current; generally causing the effective inductance of the choke to decrease with higher currents. Fortuitously, these two effects tend to offset each other.
