I got a hankerin' to build a low (1 -5 watt) tube amp from scratch. The key here is to be able to crank it to 10 if I want and still be at a low volume.
OK, I know this has probably been discussed a zillion times here. So here's what I'm after, specifically.
I just want to find an amp schematic/wiring diagram of the circuit. I DON'T want to buy a kit for 200.00 -500.00. I mean, come on, the most expensive parts on this thing are the trans. and they can be had pretty cheap. I want to make my own chassis and eyelet board from scratch. I think this would be half the fun.
I've already considered just copying an old tweed fender schem. but these are still too loud. I've looked at Torres' "tiny tone" (1 1/2 watts") and this sounds ideal, but once again, I don't want to dump 400.00 into this. Especially if when it's all said and done it sounds "cheesy".
Does anyone have a link to an ultra-low power design that's easy to build and doesn't cost a fortune? I have a good understanding of the basic principles. (not gonna fry my ass!) Thanks, in advance!
