Snubber parts kit for circuits. Used to build a "snubber circuit" to remove unwanted high frequencies and high voltages resulting from output transformer ringing in a guitar amplifier, without the "brick wall" effect of using diodes.

The "Snubber" circuit was published in the "Radiotron Designers Handbook" in the 1930s and is supposed to serve as a "[sonically transparent] shock absorber" to remove unwanted high frequencies and dangerously high voltages resulting from output transformer ringing, without the "brick wall" effect of using diodes. "Output transformer ringing often sounds like unwanted fizz on the notes - especially bass notes."

The compatible snubber kit for 4 EL34 tubes would be SKU- K-SNUB3.

The Snubber Kit is only designed for push-pull configurations.

This circuit is primarily used for removing unwanted high frequencies and oscillations commonly referred to as "fizz" from power amps. If this kind of issue is not present on your amp you may not notice much of a difference with the snubber installed.

Adding the snubber circuit to any amplifier is completely optional. If your amp uses two EL34s, then you would want to select the "2 Octal Tubes" option.
