Milkman Sideman type build, tips for preamp, what voltages

[wolfiesays]

Hello guys,

It has been a minute since posting here, but after going to a Dead & Co show I have the urge to build a pedal steel style low watt tube amp for guitar... it seems like the Milkman Sideman has the preamp section built to operate with higher iron transformers than the Milkman Pedal Steel mini but stays at a manageable 50W level for studio and small spaces. I don't need the tremolo circuit unless this adds to the stiffness of the preamp.

Has anyone made this type of circuit, and if not what types of stiff sounding small amp circuits low wattage (50W and below) builds get you colose to ala Jerry Garcia, SSS Mayer.

Thanks guys and gals,

I think this is something like what you are looking for.
Mike builds pure gold and if you listen to the clips I think you'll hear what I hear.

Great! Let me do some digging into his build. The PRP resistors are tasty ha!
