I've been searching for about an hour now and I can't find anything on this.
I want to make the output transformers in my gssl switchable, so that I can switch back and forth between transformer and transformerless output. I'm thinking a 4PDT switch coming off the gssl pcb might work, with the different output resistors on the switch leading to the respective outputs.
Basically what I'm concerned about is that with this configuration both output paths would remain connected to the same XLR jacks and it would be the output path of the pcb that would change (if that makes sense). Is there going to be a impedance loading problem doing it this way? Because if I was in transformerless mode, the secondary of the transformer would still be connected to the xlr, and vice versa.
What kind of switch or relay could I use that would switch both sides of the transformer connection if I can't do it as I described above?
Any advice on doing this mod?
Thanks so much!
