Vacuum tube amp build

<< < (2/4) > >>

Blurbillon:
Excellent! I build Hi-Fi stuff myself but I have built a 1W flea amp for guitar as well. In fact I have one tube amp project waiting for a few small final touches. I have a few pictures of my amp builds on my website.

In case you haven't already, check out Uncle Doug on Youtube. He specializes on tube guitar amps. Mr. Carlson's lab is another great resource, and of course the DIY Audio forum tubes/valves section.

 I like that you are doing a project with your son.
    I have rebuilt a few OLD tube amplifiers but I have never built one. I presume you use a solid state power supply and pair of tubes in the output - am I close? Push /pull on the Speaker? I don't have a clue how the new stuff works so I will watch with interest.

Its shockingly simple.  Silicon rectifier (in a tube socket so we could switch), two section input triode, single power pentode tube.  Its single ended all the way.  Power and output transformers

Got the filament.wiring run, and the high voltage rectifier.  The led backlight works now!
