Tube Amp Archive

I love to see some photos, a schematic and/or hear soundclips ........ if you're willing to share those?

Here's a couple I've built for friends in the last 6 months. The figured maple one is over a 100 yr old pine wood body taken from a 100 yr old hosiery mill in NC. It's called Millie. The mahogany body one has a neck from an acoustic guitar. I ground the heel off and fashioned it a new one. 24.75" sc...

I bought a Hammond AO-44 with the hopes of using ECL84's which didn't work out. So, I decided to make it a single ended amp similar to a Fender Champ but with a 5E3 tone stack. I was able to make this conversion fairly inexpensively in that I had a speaker, tubes, wood, grill cloth and many componen...

I've done a few amps where I let the mosfet cathode follower (& sometimes a tone stack with it) be the "send" of the FX and then use a triode for the recovery of the psuedo-active FX loop. This has worked out really great for me & I'm quite pleased with this approach. In the case of the V2b on the H...

I think this is sometimes (not always) the case with amps with solid state rectification and less noticeable with tube rectification in my experience. My sense is the attack with solid state is quicker and less "rounded" meaning the peak of the attack is instantly there where with tube rectification...

If it weren't April 1st ............. this would probably be a real article.

Years ago Mat in Finland posted a SE ODS with no "phase inverter." By all accounts it sounded great As an FYI, several of us on the Hoffman forum followed Mat's build and listened to his fantastic sound clips .................. and then tried building his SE amp using 6L6's. It didn't come close to...

Hey, thanks for posting that! It sounds mighty good to me. Superb tone, IMO.

I will simply trust that this is an excellent pedal. Having said that, both videos on the website have the pedal going into a Dumble style amp while claiming the pedal sounds like a Dumble amp. :? In addition to that, the 2nd video looks like a loaded up pedal board going into a Dumble style amp. My...

Here are a couple I built from a kit. The amber burst is mine.

And the inexpensive Grote "jazz" guitar w/P90 is what I've been playing the most lately.

Any chance you have a video that is not FaceBook but maybe YouTube or something like that? Some of us don't do FaceBook.
