Best Desert Island Power Amp Transformer for Smashing Coconuts ?
Just thinking that if I am stranded on a desert island when shipwrecked from one of those cruise ship gigs, I'm gonna have to find a way to use my gear to it's fullest advantage : I'm thinking the Hiwatt Bass Power Tranny

Safety Tip -

You guys will have to move those useless tubes out of the way.

Almost any vintage Traynor's trannies will devastate a coconut. YBA-3 is my fave for splitting the tropical treasures.

I have one sitting here in my office, and it is an impressive hunk o' iron.

Nonsense, that crab would never survive the electrical current needed to...

The tranny in my coguitarist's 200 watt Titan is the most devastating piece of iron I've ever seen. Even bigger than the Diezel Herbert or 280 watt Meteoro.

This one in a Seymour Duncan is also mighty impressive.

For reference, the chassis is the size of 3U tall 19" rack unit.

+1 for the Traynors. I had a YGL-3A that was a beast. I'm young, and it was too much to be hauling around everywhere. Tranny was huge.

Yikes - yeah, I think you could smash 2 coconuts at once with those. Super efficent, so as not to expend too many calories when in survival mode like that.

Thanks for the recommend. Caught these over there, too.
