John Curl gave a most informative talk on the Wall Of Sound used by the Gratefful Dead. He had a lot to do with the speaker end of things but had not much to say about the amplifiers which left me curious about them.
I pulled up the following manual and schematic and suggest anyone interested in advanced circuit design of the 1970s have a look ..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_of_SoundThere is an earlier discussion about autotransformers where some call the autoformer a "band aid" for a poor design and others slurs. However this is a fine amplifier, virtually bullet proof, and used in great numbers by a band known for its incredible sound.
I welcome any comments and questions.
