AX84 Single Ended Lead Tube Guitar Amplifier Project
[classic projects]
[current version] [old
versions]
Overview
The SEL is like a juiced up rock and roll amp from the 80's... only
smaller. Like a Hi-Octane but with more power. Like a P1-eXtreme, but
meaner. This is a good choice for someone who wants more distortion and
has built an amp or two before.
Tone goes from cleanish to semi-saturated distortion, depending on
gain settings and guitar volume setup. Responds well to pedals and
retains your guitars tone.
Features
- Hi-Gain 12ax7 Preamp
- KT88/KT77/KT66/EL34/6L6/6V6 Power Tube in Class-A Single Ended
Configuration provides a range of output wattage selections.
- Cathode-follower driven Bass, Mid and Treble tone controls allow
you to shape your sound. Alter the values of the components in the tone
stack to tailor your sound.
Skill Level: intermediate --- Status: Ready to
Build.
