2 Cabs - 1 Transformer

Post by TheChugnut »

Hey chaps,

I'm getting an Egret 2 and a New Astro City in about two weeks. I'm going to be putting two 100V sockets on the wall fed from a step-down transformer in the garage.

Obviously degaussing draws **** loads compared to standard use. Are they both purely manual degaussers or do they auto-degauss when they turn on?

What kind of transformer rating should I be looking for? Would 1kVA suffice?

Ta very mooch,

Chuggers
