  • I love Tube amps
Hello, I work for an electric utility in the Seattle area. I've dabbled in guitar and in solid-state electronics for a couple of decades and I am thinking of doing a tube amp project. I have a 60-watt tube 6L6 Carvin combo that might provide me with transformers and a cabinet, chassis and speaker. So I am wondering if I can find a tube amp design that can allow me to use the transformers that I have and that has good documentation such that I could build it as a first project. Ideally I'd like to build something two-channel with a clean and high-gain channel but I am wondering if high gain circuitry is tricky for a first-timer because if everything isn't just right there will be oscillation.

Welcome to the Hoffman Amps forum

There are many different boards on this forum for different topics.

The Tube Amp Building - Tweaks - Repairs board is where you can post amp questions.

That board is listed here.
