hmmm...well; the OTLs are very wideband since the transformer acts like a bandpass filter and cuts both low and high end. But guitars are really not that wideband, and even the cheapest output transformer will have bandwidth enough.
but I have actually placed a small capacitor over the driver stage's gain section to limit the high end. I found it too bright when the output tubes started crunching. Then again I often do that to my vintage type amps (the amps with OPTs) as well.
I use Jensen P12Q in 16ohm version. I want to find some louder type of speaker though, and plan to try out Weber for my next project.
I also have some Jensen NEO12 (16ohm) and they are much louder. I actually like them better, but they dont compress as much. I guess for jazz and metal that is ok, but for blues and classic rock the P12Q is probably better.
