New amp born yesterday

Recommended Posts

I takes me about 3.5 days to build one from scratch. My tools are a drill press. a cordless drill, some punches, a small hacksaw. 25w iron and some hand tools. I used to have a separate room years ago with work benches but I build this one on top of a cardboard box that a Avatar 2x12 came in.

 

Here is my 18W variant.

And boards for a JTM 45 and High gain

The 18W sounds better than those

 

All my tubes come from ebay including GEC KT66's for the 45 ... the good stuff

Only 3 days to build an amp?! That sounds like speed dating for an amp whisperer. Cool stuff!

Thanks for the compliments. I wanted to start a business years ago but didn't and with the lousy economy today its not worth it. I make them for my own pleasure. Alot of the schematics out here have errors and I change thing in them to make them sound good.
