(Gibson) Mesa Multiwatt Triple Schuhmacher Transformers?

[Simon Dorn]

Did they completely switch to Schumacher - Transformers?
Pics of the Multiwatt Triple looks like they have different Transformers in 'em now.
Who played and compared one to the earlier Multiwatt-Triple?

Have they not always used Schumacher?

Afaik, the company that made the transformers for Mesa went out of business during covid. Now they are produced in Mexico.
Note: I am not sure, if this was Schumacher or if there was a supplier change even before production went to Mexico

 

[Simon Dorn]

My Info is: They used Schuhmacher in the early days, hence the old Rectifiers are that sought after.
Then they switched to another supplier for many years and now they are back to Schuhmacher.
But i'm not sure.

Depends on who you ask and how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go.
