Re: [SurfGuitar101] what's with "Dual"

Phil Kucer (surfbass7) - 29 Jul 2003 07:04:45

From a post on the Fender Forum ():
The major difference is the "SHOWMAN" has a 125A30A (8 Ohm) output
transformer intended for a single 8 Ohm speaker. The "DUAL SHOWMAN" had
the 125A29A (4 Ohm) output transformer intended for two 8 Ohm speakers
wired for a total of 4 Ohms.
Also, the "SHOWMAN" had a very slight change in the phase inverter,
using a 47 Ohm resistor to ground, as oppoesed to the 100 Ohm resistor
of the "DUAL SHOWMAN".
According to The Fender Field Guide (), The
Blonde Showmans are 100 watts while the Black & Silverface ones are 85.
