Title: Sharing my homemade 5f1 amp (my first tube amp)
Post by: cbevilaqua on April 16, 2021, 07:42:10 pm

Hi,

First, thanks for being accepted in the forum.
Some months ago, I built my first tube amp, a 5f1 and I just want to share it with you.
Below are 2 small videos of it, I don't play guitar well so I made just a simple scale in one video and a small intro of a song in the other.
In the first video, is the first mount I did in a "head" like configuration, but some time later I decided to put the chassis in a "combo" cabinet with a Jensen 10 inch speaker.
I just don't crank it up because of my neighbors but may be sometime I do that.

Attached are also 2 images of it.
Thanks!
