Transformers: By the time the 2061 was designed and manufactured, Jim had struck up his now well- known relationship with transformer manufacturers, Dagnall and Drake. As a result, both the power and mains transformers used in the original 2061 were supplied by Dagnall.
As you probably know, the output and mains transformers are vital components in an amplifier as they influence performance, sound and feel. Consequently, we worked extremely closely with our associates in Dagnall’s R&D department in order to duplicate the original transformers in all areas in the
Output Transformer: The original 2061 didn’t have an impedance selector of any shape or form, instead the two speaker output jacks were hardwired directly to the 8 Ohm tap on the transformer – thus making it possible to use a single 8 Ohm cabinet or two 16 Ohm cabinets in parallel. To make the
*Important Note: Adding the impedance selector has no effect on the tonal authenticity of the 2061X
Mains (Power) Transformer: In order to satisfy strict

Front Panel: Gold, brushed anodised aluminium – exactly as the originals we used as references. Specific details pertaining to the front panel features of the 2061X can be found on page 4 of this manual.
Note: While a few early 2061s boasted Plexiglas front panels, gold, brushed anodised aluminium panels were more commonplace on this model as we stopped using Plexiglas for front panels in mid 1969.
Rear Panel: Again gold, brushed anodised aluminium – exactly as the originals we used as references. Specific details pertaining to the rear panel features of the 2061X can be found on page 5 of this manual.

The features listed below are all ‘deviations’ from the original that have been added for |

practicality, added flexibility, and/or improved serviceability. Please note that none of these have any sonic |

impact (positive or negative) on the head |

Impedance Switch: A feature that wasn’t present on the original but, in conjunction with the two |

Speaker Output Jacks, obviously adds to the unit’s flexibility when it comes to pairing it up with extension |

speaker cabinet options. |

H.T. and Mains Fuses: In the original these two fuses were located within the chassis itself, making |

it extremely time consuming and cumbersome to access should one blow. Making both fuses easily |
|
accessible via the rear panel is another obvious improvement we’re sure you’ll agree. |
