Tube Amp Archive

i all, Bit late to the party, but I built this amp a while ago and wanted to share it. It's a fantastic amp—definitely one of my favorite SSS builds out there. I added an FET to the front end, inspired by one of the posts here. Big thanks to Manning for helping me get the bias set properly—I'm not t...

Hi all, Just wondering if there have been any updates to the schematic or changes you've made after building it? I recently built this amp for fun. The power section is a bit different from the original, but the preamp is mostly unchanged — I added a low-gain switch for some extra flexibility. The o...

Thanks Guy!

Hi All, (long time lurker, I just look and build)

Just built the amp but a single channel using Ryan's schematic, with Reverb and Princeton tremolo. Got plenty of od/break up on tap. It's 6l6 rectified. Reverb is using a 6bm8 tube to free up a tube.

Hi guys,

Long time lurker here. Built the 50w Jimmy page amp in a smaller chassis. 400mm x 165mm x 70mm chassis. Do you guys have the layout diagram/circuit of the hiwatt footswitch? I can't find any online and sadly the link that was shared here doesn't work anymore.

Cheers!

Last but not least, and not to highjack this thread, the other day I stumbled on this video. I think this amp sounds super cool, talked to Tony about it and neither one of us knows either the builder or the owner. About as good as anything else I've heard, to be honest: https://youtu.be/u3dsJGgKM3Y...

It wasn't comfortable at all. I live in a one room apartment here in Japan and even making the cabinet gets a little crazy. (Originally from NZ)

Only the footswitch. Chassis is custom made but blank so they still have to be drilled, filed etc. I could probably bend it but it won't be as good haha.

Another attempt at #102 4th Gen.
6l6 50/25w Overdrive Special. Custom FW. Brown suede with vox grille.

TR John Mayer from one of the threads here. It's a crossover between AMPnation and Wunderbar/
Rest built on the floor since there's no space here in Japan.

6L6 50/25w 3 spring reverb.

The Attempt at #60 using Aaron's schematic. Not happy with the power supply board. chassis size is 530mmx203x64mm. Not the large chassis so it was a little tight. FW is made with folded SS steel.
50w/25w 6l6. Still needs some work on the reverb but otherwise pretty awesome.
