New amp born yesterday

[samwheat]

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

Looks very nice!

Would love to hear it. Do you have a sound demos?

[DetroitBlues]

Great job!

I find it very hard to get value out of youtube clips.

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

[Gianluca]

[peterbright]

Do you sell them?

[smokedtires]

Nice work.

[samwheat]

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.
