Great transformer (with one minor caveat)

6 January 2019

This is a great transformer. It is described as a drop in replacement for the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe with 'no mucking around'. It is great quality and works exactly as described with just one little niggle. The original transformer in the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe has right angle spade lugs on the green leads. This is because they need to fit in a rather tight area. Unfortunately, the replacement has straight spade lugs and doesn't fit very well. I needed to source some right angle spade lugs (which took almost half a day since not everyone carries them) and replace the supplied lugs. Once I had done this everything worked like a charm. It would reduce the amount of mucking around needed if the transformer came with right angled spade lugs.
