    Default Introducing BLS Transformers

    We're new to the forum .

    BLS Electronics Ltd have been trading since 1973, and is family-owned and managed by Fran, Simon & Joy Williams.

    We make lots of transformers for lots of applications, but our speciality is bespoke high-quality audio transformers.

    We can design and build balanced power supplies to your specifications. We are well-known in the guitar/bass amp market, supplying the likes of Ashdown, Hayden and Audio Kitchen, to name a few.

    Simon is our chief designer, and will happily bespoke-design whatever the customer wants. Our design process is always free of charge.

    Our philosophy is to give our customers a friendly service, and to try and make the whole 'buying experience' as painfree as possible.

    Hi. You might want to make yourselves known over on the Audio Talk forum. Plenty of customers there for bespoke transformers, I would think!

    There are actually quite a few builders (of all sorts) here in our D.I.Y room - read there and you will see, but of course you will find some more on audio talk

    Thanks for the tip Just popped over there to register and seen that we've already been mentioned. I'm just waiting for my activation email to come back. I really must design a 300B output transformer looking at how much you can get for them on ebay

    Hi Simon,

    I'm just waiting for my activation email to come back.
    I'm sure that Nick will sort that out for you very shortly. Don't neglect us though, and pop in from time to time and say hello!

    Btw, if you're going to use 'blstransformers' as the name on your profile, then could you please add 'Simon' to your signature, so that people who don't know your first name can engage with you as a human being

    Cheers!

    Marco.
