60 V 5A linear power supply

duffman · 28th October 2005, 10:36 PM

Hey everybody,

im building my first guitar amp and my design requires a 60 Vdc supply that can supply up to 5A current. Although it is very innefficient i want to build a linear power supply because it is the only type i know how to build right now

. My problem is finding a proper voltage regulator for this...can anyone help by sending me a link or something? It would be much appreciated. I am new to power supply design and all i can seem to find are regulators that will put out like 24V and that sort of range.

Alrite, thanks for the help.

Go to National Semiconductor's website,look for their LMx17 applications note.

Pardon my butting in, but I have never heard of a guitar amplifier that needs a regulated supply. Four diodes and one or two capacitors is almost always sufficient.
