Thoughts on this 45 amp?
« on: November 19, 2020, 03:29:51 pm »
I’m looking for a nice sounding easy to build 45 tube amp. I’ve found the circuit attached and plan to adapt it to use 45s and an 80. What are your thoughts on this?

I think the pic is way to small.   :icon_biggrin:
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

To get it below 1024kb, that’s as big as I can get it. Let me try a different way

Much better. Crop out all the unnecessary stuff. Some times just changing file format makes a big difference in file size. Your pic was 195KB. Here's the same info, cropped jpg format and file size is only 43KB.

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
