Hybrid Submini/Octal 2 Channel 5 watt SE
« on: September 16, 2026, 09:52:54 pm »
Sharing my latest design- the Sidewinder. the preamp has two independent foot-switchable channels, a rhythm channel that's full and round but has plenty of top end chime, and a lead channel that's tight and hairy. Output section is a 6V6GT. Hammond 1760C OT with rotary impedance selector. 12 volts in to a Royer inverter provides B+ of ~270V, 6.3V to heaters from a buck converter. Packed into a Hammond 7x5x3 enclosure.
