INDUSTRY > GUITAR AMPLIFIERS

Custom output transformers, power transformers, and chokes trusted by the world's best amp builders

We engineer custom output transformers, power transformers, and chokes for some of the most revered names in tube amplification — from boutique studio builders to high-volume OEM manufacturers. When tone matters, the transformer matters.

Expert Partner

Built for Tone, Wound for Life

Guitar amplifier transformers aren't just power components — they define the character and voice of the amplifier itself. Output transformers shape frequency response, headroom, and the dynamic feel players spend years trying to describe. For over 60 years, Pacific Transformer has wound custom magnetics for boutique builders and high-volume OEM manufacturers, including partnerships with some of the most acclaimed names in the industry.

Guitar Amplifier Transformer FAQs

We build output transformers, power transformers, and chokes for tube amplifiers. Whether you need a single custom output transformer or a complete magnetic solution for a new amplifier design, we can engineer and manufacture to your exact specifications.
Yes. Vintage replication is one of our specialties. If you have measurements, schematics, or a reference unit, our engineers can design a transformer that matches the original's electrical characteristics — including the subtle nuances that contribute to vintage tone.
We can engineer output transformers for virtually any primary impedance and secondary configuration, including 4, 8, and 16-ohm taps or custom impedance ratios. Whether you're building a single-ended Class A amp or a push-pull design, we'll design the output transformer to match your circuit's requirements.
Yes. We design and manufacture the full magnetic complement for tube amplifiers — output transformers, power transformers, and chokes. Having a single supplier for all three simplifies sourcing and ensures that your magnetics are designed to work together.
There is no minimum order. We work with customers from single prototype builds to production runs of 10,000 or more units. Whether you're building a one-off custom amplifier or ramping into high-volume manufacturing, we can support you at any scale.
We offer 48-hour prototype turnaround times. If you're in development and need to evaluate a transformer quickly, contact us — we can often turn around a custom prototype faster than anyone else in the industry.
We are a UL, CSA, and ETL recognized manufacturer with experience navigating CE and TUV approvals. If you're selling amplifiers internationally and need certified components, we can build and document to meet those requirements.
