All Tube Amp.. - but only 1 watt!!!

Devo · #1 09-29-2001, 06:34 PM

I noticed in the 'comments to Ibanez' section a couple of people expressed an interest in a bedroom volume all tube amp.

Well this is the only one I know of, Dont judge it untill you hear it you wont believe the sound off this little amp.

Just one problem though.....

the trafo is less than $30 all the other bit would come to maybe $40, you could get a nice 6" for $35. All inclusive Id say it would be a good bit less than $150.

Ill give them a shout though, as I think the trafo is permanently on backorder

Just got an email form Chris (Glen of the ax84

)

he said that he doesnt offer the moonlight as a kit, however a whole parts list is available on the web site, and you can just order them all from www.obsoleteelectronics.com or any good electronic parts store.

the bigger amps (ie the ax84 and the heavier gain version) run $184 approx, so It should be less than that.

you can probably get the board form this guy
or just make it yourself, and save $5

if you do do it, could you make a website documenting your work??

there are suprisingly few websites on the subject and there is need of one from a musicians point of view

Chips,

The p-1 is going to be (hopefully

) my first amp aswell,

the plan is to build it over the christmas break(too busy now), if not then certainlt next summer. Can you suggest any websites or books etc on the subject?
