PREVOST amplifier. Army series.
« on: April 19, 2013, 12:34:11 pm »
Hi, this is my last build. Class A, EL34,  tube rectified, one volume and one speker impedance selector switch, no s/b switch, as simple as can be ! Designed entirely by me and assembled point to point in an old Challenger amplifier chassis. Noiseless . Rich harmonics and cool feedback past 6. Ideal for blues and slide. Very pleasant tone. I may post a video on YOUTUBE soon. any technical questions welcome. This amp is a tank.

Simple is good. It does one job really well.  Massive iron.  Is that circuit board just a hole cover?  Jim
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench--a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men left to die like dogs.   There is also a negative side.
