Solid State version of some tube circuits (preamp and PI) - Here Link

[kagliostro]

I just remembered that some time ago I've read an interesting thread about the conversion of some Tube circuits to Solid State

I think this can be useful when you want to build a small amp but the "donor" circuit has not enough heater current to feed all the tube you require

there are schematics like this



the link is here

and attached you can find a pdf file with the schematics present on that thread

That is so wrong K.


Next you suggest we start using those nutubes   


Someone should move this topic to the solid state area.


I kid of course

you suggest we start using those nutubes

I already did a thread on those

Franco, I just faced that dilemma! my mono block build is about an amp short.  I "fixed" it by stealing from Peter to make Paul   I still have a 60W SS PA, just in case

This thing come to my mind after reading the 6an8 thread

http://el34world.com/Forum/index.php?topic=23081.0

because of the low gain of the triode available for the pre section

no other reasons

This will be a solution on a tube amp, no SS amp stuff ........

I know Franco, i was just messing with you little.


Philosophical question, how much ss stuff can you put in amp and still call it tube amp?

[kagliostro]

To me ...... a single "piece"

V1 or SF or FXLoop, may be PI

but only one at a time

the only one I can accept without too much effort, is SF

what!, the Marshall valvestate is not a tube amp

[kagliostro]

One preamp tube and it pretends to be a Tube Amp ......    Nooo
